Mishnayos Yevamos Perek 12 Mishnah 2

יבמות פרק י"ב משנה ב׳

2

If she performed ḥalitza while the man was wearing a sandal that did not belong to him, or a sandal made of wood, or on the left shoe, which was being worn on his right foot, it is valid ḥalitza. If she performed ḥalitza as the man was wearing a shoe that was too large for him but which he can still walk in, or a shoe that was too small but that covered most of his foot, her ḥalitza is valid. If a woman performed ḥalitza at night, her ḥalitza is valid, but Rabbi Elazar invalidates it. If she performed ḥalitza on the left foot, her ḥalitza is invalid, but Rabbi Elazar validates it.

חָלְצָה בְסַנְדָּל שֶׁאֵינוֹ שֶׁלּוֹ, אוֹ בְסַנְדָּל שֶׁל עֵץ, אוֹ בְשֶׁל שְׂמֹאל בַּיָּמִין, חֲלִיצָתָהּ כְּשֵׁרָה. חָלְצָה בְגָדוֹל שֶׁהוּא יָכוֹל לַהֲלוֹךְ בּוֹ, אוֹ בְקָטָן שֶׁהוּא חוֹפֶה אֶת רֹב רַגְלוֹ, חֲלִיצָתָהּ כְּשֵׁרָה. חָלְצָה בַלַּיְלָה, חֲלִיצָתָהּ כְּשֵׁרָה, וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר פּוֹסֵל. בַּשְּׂמֹאל, חֲלִיצָתָהּ פְּסוּלָה, וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מַכְשִׁיר:

בסנדל של עץ כשרה – and it would be covered with leather.

חלצה בגדול – that the sandal was large from the measurement of his foot, if he is able to walk in it, his Halitzah is valid.

או בקטן – from the measurement of his foot, if it covers the majority of his foot, his Halitzah is valid. But the Halakha is according to Rabbi Eliezer regarding what disqualifies a Halitzah at night, but the Halakha is not according to him in what validates a Halitzah with a left shoe.

בסנדל של עץ כשרה. והוא שיהיה מחופה עור:

חלצה בגדול. שהיה הסנדל גדול ממדת רגלו, אם יכול להלוך בו חליצתו כשרה:

או בקטן. ממדת רגלו, אם חופה את רוב רגלו חליצתו כשרה. והלכה כרבי אליעזר במה שפוסל חליצה בלילה, ואין הלכה כמותו במה שמכשיר חליצה בשמאל:
