Tora Yid: When the whole thing with Indian hair wigs came out, R’ Elyashiv was the one who said it’s a problem. A family member of mine who is close with R’ Shteinman asked R’ Shteinman about it. His response was, “I think it’s a shtus and there’s no problem!”

R’ Elyashiv was quoted as saying that Crocs shouldn’t be worn on Yom Kippur. Many other Rabbonim wear Crocs on Yom Kippur ( I heard the Gerrer Rebbe wears them). I wore them myself (even after the psak) until I started davening for the amud. The Crocs didn’t give me enough support, so I got a pair of canvas shoes instead. But I would wear Crocs if they worked for me.
