Q. See question above.
I have another related shailah. Since in our area of Canada it snows plenty and our kids play and walk on the snow also on Shabbat. Can I obtain for my children boots that leave and unusual impression on the snow, so my wife can tell where they went when they play at a park next to our home?
A. Horav Aharon Miller Shlit’a maintains in the name of his father Shlit’a, that if boots are available as common merchandise in shoe stores, it is permitted.
