Commento su Kelim 24:12
שְׁלֹשָׁה עוֹרוֹת הֵן. הֶעָשׂוּי לְשָׁטִיחַ, טָמֵא מִדְרָס. לְתַכְרִיךְ הַכֵּלִים, טָמֵא טְמֵא מֵת. וְשֶׁל רְצוּעוֹת וְשֶׁל סַנְדָּלִים, טְהוֹרָה מִכְּלוּם:
Esistono tre tipi di pelli: una fatta per essere un tappeto è suscettibile all'impurità dei midra ; [uno fatto] per essere un involucro per le navi è suscettibile all'impurità del cadavere; e ciò che deve essere [tagliato a strisce e] usato per cinturini o sandali è puro da tutti i [tipi di impurità].

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
That which is used as a wrapper for vessels is susceptible to corpse uncleanness; If it is used to wrap vessels, it counts as a vessel because it "contains something." Therefore, it is susceptible to impurity, just not midras impurity.

Bartenura on Mishnah Kelim
ושל רצועות ושל סנדלים – leather that stands to cut from it straps and sandals, is ritually pure from everything, for it is not used for work. But straps that are already prepared, are ritually impure, as is explained in Tractate Negaim, Chapter 11.

English Explanation of Mishnah Kelim
And that which is intended for straps and sandals is free from all uncleanness. If the hide was made such that straps and sandals can be cut from it, it is not yet a vessel and it is not susceptible to impurity.
