Question
According to the Ashkenazi custom of not renewing clothes during the days of mourning for a father and mother throughout the twelve months after their passing, unless someone else wore them first, what is the rule for shoes and belts?
Answer
One may renew them after 30 days, and the distinction is that these garments do not wrinkle, and the renewal is not noticeable on them when they are new more than when they are already old.
