Question
Is it permissible to buy new shoes during the Three Weeks?
Answer
Hello,
Generally, one does not recite the "Shehecheyanu" blessing on shoes, and therefore it is permissible to buy them as usual.
However, if the shoes are particularly expensive and the person derives special joy from purchasing them, they should recite "Shehecheyanu." In such a case, one should not buy them during the days of Bein HaMetzarim.
