Metal detector-friendly shoes

[General Lee]

Eccos. They are very comfortable and no metal. Kinda pricey.

My $40 deerstags are going on 3 years and still looking good. Never beep. Have the "Times" version with the Supra sole.

This includes 2 winters of ramp slush while flying the CRJ. I don't go downstairs anymore flying the bus ;-)

NO CONTEST!

Allen Edmonds as comfortable as a tennis shoe, as durable as a work boot, and customer service unmatched by any shoe company.

My last pair made it 5 years walking through snow, deice fluid, Jet A, and what ever else I came across on the ramp. Finally wore the sole down and bought another pair. They are expensive, however I noticed when you buy the cheap stuff, you replace them a lot more frequently, and they are not comfortable like the allen edmonds.

The Shoes Are Okay, But Not The TSA

Dockers and DeerStags get my vote! I have both and have never had problems going through security screenings, but have had problems trying to convince the TSA morons that my shoes are okay and won't set off their detectors

SAS Shoes. Once you wear them you'll wear no others. You will have happy feet! Mine have never set off detectors.

I bought whatever shoes I wanted and removed the metal strip in about 5 minutes....No problem now...

Hush puppies form sears. Very light and comfortable and have never had a problem

Security Friendly Shoes

I just bought a pair of Deer Stags at Stein Mart. About $40.00 with my wife's employee discount. Very light and confortable shoes. These shoes don't set off the alarms when I wear them through the metal detectors.

Try HS Trask. They're made out of buffalo hide are very comfortable and last a long time.

my shoes don't set off the box...but now the TSA PUKES are making me take them off because the heel appears to be more than an inch thick....

FREAKING TSA PUKES...

wack 'em all, and hire professional profilers, racial or otherwise, and we'll not have any security issues.

I have a pair of deer stags that I bought right after 911 happened. They never set off the detector, but now these tsa workers still make you take your shoes off regardless. Heck I might as well stop wearing "airport friendly" shoes if they're going to make you take them off anyway. Freaking TSA morons!

They last a long time. Mine are 3 years old and the sole is barely worn.

deer stag soft stags at BJ's for 19.99

Are any of these brands the slip-on kind?

 

[TooLow]

I've got a pair of Kenneth Cole Reaction shoes that don't set of any metal detectors anywhere except for PHX......go figure

Big black dorky shoes with rounded polished toes!
Let's face it, if you're not willing to spend more than $100 on a pair of quality Spanish/Italian shoes......you're going to look like Mickey Mouse.
