Question
Hello Rabbis, is it permissible for a man to wear women's slippers?
Answer
Hello,
The prohibition of "not wearing" also applies to slippers, and therefore it is forbidden for a man to wear slippers that are specifically for women.
However, shoes that are not specifically for women, such as Crocs, do not fall under this prohibition. Although pink Crocs, which are usually worn by women, should not be worn by men in public, they may be worn at home.
