Question

According to the Ashkenazi custom of not renewing clothes for twelve months unless someone else wears them first, what is the rule for shoes and belts?

Answer

One can renew 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.
