Airport friendly BOOTS? Do they exist?

[jtmpilot]

my vote goes to blundstones also, comfortable and they last years.......

A better idea is to fire "Heck of a job Kippie", head of the TSA.

I have been wearing the Ariats for 3 years and have never needed to take them off for TSA. They are airport friendly.

...removing the shank...

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

Ummm... well... yeah, unless you put something ELSE in its place... like... the Fiberglass shank that everyone else was talking about before you posted.

The fiberglass composite shank that's in most "airport friendly" shoes these days works just fine.

I bought a pair of Ariat's last year, with the composite sole.

I haven't even come CLOSE to wearing it out enough to resole it, and I wear it both at work and sometimes at home, and it never beeps anywhere.

The composite sole really is the way to go, no more re-soles!

Bingo, best boot I've ever worn. And one heck of a nice shine!

Dudes, the original poster was looking for something that wasn't a ROPER!

XTRATUF, painted black with a rattle can.

Rockport and Timberland also have a good product, although they're not ment for wide feet.

No Ropers! - No Ropers! - No Ropers!

Thanks for all replies, I’m still looking and all of you who recommended Ariats, would you please let me know exactly which boot is airport friendly? Note I am NOT looking into a roper boot. The only airport friendly Ariats I’ve seen are ropers, am I missing something???


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!
