Responsa "Halachot Ketanot" Part 2, Siman 139: "There is doubt regarding fabric shoes called 'J Apinis', if they are made new from new fabric, whether it is permissible to sanctify and wear them on Tisha B'Av. It is possible that since it is only in memory of mourning, it is permissible, and it is good to sanctify them on Yom Kippur, and one who is stringent will be blessed. It seems the same applies to a mourner during Shiva."
