Halakhah for Beitzah 1:10

מְשַׁלְּחִין כֵּלִים, בֵּין תְּפוּרִין בֵּין שֶׁאֵינָן תְּפוּרִין, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁיֵּשׁ בָּהֶן כִּלְאַיִם, וְהֵן לְצֹרֶךְ הַמּוֹעֵד, אֲבָל לֹא סַנְדָּל הַמְסֻמָּר וְלֹא מִנְעָל שֶׁאֵינוֹ תָפוּר. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף לֹא מִנְעָל לָבָן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁצָּרִיךְ אֻמָּן. זֶה הַכְּלָל, כֹּל שֶׁנֵּאוֹתִין בּוֹ, בְּיוֹם טוֹב מְשַׁלְּחִין אוֹתוֹ:

Clothes may be sent (on yom tov), whether sewn [and fit to be worn] or not sewn [and fit for covering], even if they contain kilayim (a forbidden admixture of materials) [When they are stiff and do not add warmth, it is permitted to lie upon them], so long as they be for the need of the festival. But one may not send a nailed sandal [a sandal of wood covered with nails, the sages having decreed against its being worn on Shabbath and yom tov because of a particular occurrence in which it brought about the death of Jewish martyrs (Shabbath 6b)], nor a sandal which is not sewn, [even if it is held together with wooden pegs or the like]. R. Yehudah says: Nor (may he send) a white shoe, for it requires a craftsman (to blacken it)]. This is the rule: Whatever can be enjoyed may be sent on yom tov. [This is what is meant: Whatever can be enjoyed on a weekday, as it is, without requiring further work, even though it cannot be enjoyed on yom tov (such as tefillin, which can be worn during the week as they are, but which are not worn on yom tov) may be sent on yom tov.]
