Yeah right

"Optimized for tactile pedal response and heat-deflection,"

a) Who writes this stuff?
2) Who has a heater hot enough to need deflection.
#) Will it go with the kneeboard in the CRJ?
 
Wanna get a pot going on how long before some douche actually wears these to work along with his backpack and gelled spiky hair with the tips died blond?
 
Those will look nice with some nomex gloves and a power rangers costume.

Better not say that too loudly, some management type might get a nasty idea.
 
And finds out he (or she) gets no respect for their pilot abilities.
 
The blue ones...yep, that's what I'd buy. They'll go with either the corp guy's business suit or the airline guy's uniform.

Yep, the blue ones....the red ones are just over the line into "tacky"...
 
I bought a pair.

I'll let you all know how long it is before the Chief Pilot says something!
 
Ironically, if you go to the drop-down menu for sizes, it seems that sizes 7 and 7.5 are already "out of stock." Looks like you might be seeing these around the terminal after all.

They're really big on this flame-resistant stuff, aren't they? When I have an early morning show this winter, departing Canada in an airplane with no foot heat, I'm sure I'll be regretting not having flame-retardant shoes :rolleyes:
 
That is by far one of the gayest things I've ever seen!!! I wonder if anyone at Gulfstream Air has a pair!?!?!?
 
LOL, who cares if I catch on fire, my boots will survive. I will be buying these and have my footprints on file for faster id recognition.
 
Just buy a pair of Dear Stagg shoes. No metal in them so you don't have to take them off at security.

WHO gives a flying F**ck about the shoes? Who's the chick in CoATP's Avtar?


I do believe that she is without apparel!
 
Grow a set and buy the Justin Ropers

You can wear your white tube socks either striped or sans stripes what could be better than that. Trashy chicks also dig it when you wear the boots and only the hat when they show up at your hotel room.

Got em. No more stupid black socks. Comfy too, after break in. The old hags I teamed up with wanted me in the boots and Captain Caveman boxers. She wore the hat.
 
That's not even the gayest thing that AvShop has in this current catalog. Take a look at this beauty: http://www.avshop.com/prodinfo.asp?number=6727

I shudder to think that I've been flying around so woefully underequipped for so long. I'm ordering one of these today so that I can fill it with 8 pens, 4 flashlights, sporty's electronic e6b, sporty's holding entry computer, sporty's traffic pattern entry computer, and 5 pair of ray bans. I'm also going to use carabiners to attach a handheld GPS to the D-link on one shoulder and a handheld transciever on the other. I'm just thankful that I was lucky enough to survive this long without this necessary equipment.
 
For the FFDO's, it's even got a place to put your gun.

My favorite is still the ol' Sporty's "Panic Button." Yes that is a real confidence-booster for your passengers. Just think when you go through security and the panic button falls out of your "payload vest" pockets as you're putting it in the conveyer-bins at security . . . . "ummm, excuse me, is this yours?" . . . "Oh yes, thank you, I was starting to panic!" . . . .

. . . payload vest. Who are they kidding. Seriously, you would have to re-calculate the crew weights. The table would have to have a new column, "pilot without payload vest," and "pilot with payload vest." Gosh, TSA would probably think you were a suicide bomber.

I have seen a couple students wearing these at the FBO. Never knew that they were "special" pilot boots until I read this thread.

One them also had the super big flight bag with every gizmo that Sporty sells.
