Question

A mourner within the seven days who is driving a car (for the purpose of attending a shiva in another location) and finds it difficult to drive in slippers, is he allowed to wear leather shoes for driving?

Answer

It is preferable to wear fabric shoes, but if he does not have them, he may drive with leather shoes by placing some earth inside them.
