Shabbos 060: Sandal ha'Mesumar
yh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:
one can still find 'hobnailed boots' and other similar shoes in our times
[very old army boots, soccer kleats with metal spikes, mountain climbing
boots with spikes] -would one be allowed to wear these bazman hazeh ? did
the gzeirah persist and can we apply it to different kinds of shoes with
'nails' or spikes protruding or only their specific shoes ? Thank you.
yh, ny

Rabbi Feinhandler replies:
Dear YH,
Although the Rambam (Hilchos Shabbos 19:2) did bring this Halachah, the Hagahos
Maimoniyos (ibid) says that Sandal Mesumars *are* allowed as they are not
common. The same
would apply to the shoes you mentioned; they may be worn on Shabbos.
