Security Proof Ropers

[luv2fly]

I know this has been discussed before, but does anyone know of a roper that will not set off the metal detectors at the airports? Make? Model?

Thanks

My Justins don't set off bells, keep my feet warm in the winter, and have a slip resistant heel perfect for those *&* 0300 preflights. I highly recommend them...

If you want to go the cheap way, take them - brand new - to a decent shoe repair place. Have them separate the heel from the sole, pull the steel shank from the boots and put a fiberglass shank in. Cost me $20. Never once set off the magnetometer.

JUSTIN MODEL 3170

Justin Model 3170 is the one you're looking for.

Vibram sole so the de/anti-ice fluid doesn't eat thru or cause you to go skating across the ramp.

Solvent resistant coating on the leather.

Haven't set the detectors off in ANY (over the past 6 years) airport I have worn them thru.

I own and HIGHLY recommend Ariat Cobalt Ropers. Be sure to order the Black, Style #35401 They are by far the most comforatable boots I have ever worn, and I had worn Justins for many years. Use the link above, and check out the technology used in the construction of these boots. Espcially the shank and the soles. They will not set off any metal detector anywhere, and they will survive the most severe ramp conditions of a Minnesota winter. I ordered mine by phone from the company listed below. They were most courteous, and my boots arrived in Atlanta via Priority Mail a couple of days later. The total cost including shipping was around $150.

Again, I highly recommend these boots.
