# If a person removes his shoes or puts them on without touching them he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Olot Tamid 4:12 writes that if one removes one's shoes without touching them he still needs to wash his hands. However, the Magen Avraham 4:19, Eliyah Rabba 4:13, Mekor Chaim 4:18, and Mishna Brurah 4:41 argue that it only applies if one touches one's shoes with one's hands. This is relevant to Birkat Cohanim (Shulchan Aruch 128:5) and Tisha B'av on Motzei Shabbat even shoes are removed after Barchu (Shulchan Aruch 553). </ref> | # If a person removes his shoes or puts them on without touching them he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Olot Tamid 4:12 writes that if one removes one's shoes without touching them he still needs to wash his hands.

# If a person touches his socks he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Chavot Yair in Mekor Chaim 4:18 writes that the need to wash one's hands after touching one's shoes doesn't apply to socks. He seems to understand the issue of touching shoes because of dirt as the Eliyah Rabba 4:13 writes. Yabia Omer 5:1:4 discusses this. He quotes the Lev Chaim 2:2 who says that if shoes are dirty because of the ground then socks aren't included but if they're dirty because of the sweat of feet then they are included. Rav Ovadia adds that if the reason for not touching shoes is because of ruach raah then it doesn't apply to socks. He concludes that we can be lenient on socks.</ref> | # If a person touches his socks he doesn't need to wash his hands.<ref>Chavot Yair in Mekor Chaim 4:18 writes that the need to wash one's hands after touching one's shoes doesn't apply to socks.

# Some suggest that there's no need to wash netilat yadayim for touching slippers.<ref>Rivevot Efraim 3:15 writes that if the reason for washing netilat yadyaim after touching shoes is because the shoes are dirty and they make one's hands dirty that doesn't apply to slippers. Even if it is true that we don't distinguish between clean and dirty shoes that might only be true of outdoor shoes and indoors were never included in this halacha. He implies that this is the halacha but concludes that the reader should consider this. See further in Iyunim Bhalacha (R' Shlomo Shemaya) siman 1 that according to the Mishna Brurah 128:62 as long as one's shoes are clean there's no need to do netilat yadayim afterwards. This also seems to be implied from Mishna Brurah 4:61.</ref> | |||
