614 [1] **“The laws of annointment and wearing shoes” - Containing four paragraphs.**
It is forbidden to annoint oneself even a little (part) of one’s body and even if it is only to remove dirt (sweat), but if one is sick, even if there is no danger or if he has rashes (scabs) on his head he is permitted (to annoint himself). [2] It is forbidden to put on a sandle or a shoe of leather, not even as a sole on an artificial leg and to go out with it. Even if it is wooden (the shoe) and covered with leather it is forbidden, but if it is made of reed or straw or cloth or other things, it is permissible even to go outside in them to the public domain (the street). (It is permissible to stand on cushions and pillows of leather, and anyhow one who is strict about these things will be blessed,) (מרדכי דיומא ותה״ד סי‘ קמ״ט). [3] One who has just given birth, during the first thirty days (of the recovery) she is permitted to wear shoes, and the sick person is just like that even though (the sick person) is not dangerously sick, and so the person who has a sore on his foot (is also allowed to put on shoes). [4] Every person is permitted to wear shoes because of a scorpion and the like so that they will not bite him if they happen to be found, (if the place is infested with) scorpions or things that bite.
