Chulin 024b: Sandals and Shoes
Joel Wiesen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:
Usually we read about sandals, and only occasionally about shoes. Are the
unique words used for shoes and sandals used to mean the same footwear, or
did they have real shoes back then?
Yehuda Wiesen, Newton, Massachusetts

The Kollel replies:
They wore different footwear in the summer and winter, see Gemara and Rashi
Sukah 21b (DH Kol she'Ein), Bava Basra 58a (DH Ela Sandalim and Rashash
there). Sandals were worn whenever weather permitted, since they were (and
still are) much cheaper.
