Synthetic Leather Shoes on Yom Kippur
Question
Is it permitted to wear synthetic leather shoes on Yom Kippur?
Answer
Greetings,
Shoes that are not made of natural leather, and are comfortable to wear, ideally, should not be worn on Yom Kippur. But one cannot protest against those who are lenient in this matter,.
