Airport friendly BOOTS? Do they exist?

[⌐ FLYER]

Not ropers but real boots - without metal shank? Is that possible? If you know of a brand, would you please post a link? Thank you so much!

I have a pair of ropers that I spent about $60 resoling and removing the shank. Worked fine.

Justin model 3170. They have a fiberglass shank.

or take them to a good shoe repair and have them install in fiberglass shank.

...removing the shank...

If you remove the shank, won't they "bend" while you walk?

Buy any boot or shoe you want, and wear it with pride when you come back from Artesia.

Another Vote for the Ariats, with the composite shank. Never beeped at any checkpoint nationwide

I would recommend a pair of galoshes. You could wear sneakers underneath.
