Shoes ?

[Afterprop]

What's the recommendations for shoes that are "TSA-safe." Looking for something black (no surprise here), and really comfortable (once again, no surprise).
Thanks in advance ;{)

Shoes

I bought a pair of Rockports last month. The shoe guy told me that all Rockports are airport friendly and I haven't had any problem with mine.

They're pretty comfortable too.

deer stags...as comfortable as tennis shoes

most of the time you have to take them off anyway.

Justin "ATP", great boot, very comfy, and airport approved!! Not to mention I would rather be in boots pre-flighting in slush, snow, and Type-IV.

Oh ya, they look great!

Bass commuter series. No metal shank, just walk on through.

haven't removed my shoes in over 3 years....

Ecco, never had to take them off, never buzzed, very comfortable, very durable, two years and still going strong.

I wear Dr. Martens. They are very comfy, 3 years and still going strong. If you polish and black out the yellow stitches around the bottom I don't think they look too bad.

Nothing like a badass pair of Lucchese Ropers....sure you gotta take 'em off, but they last forever, look great, and are full of old school steel shanks and nails! hahaha

Gotta agree 110% on the Ecco's.

I've tried Rockport, Deerstag, Doc Martins, and a few others.

Eccos are the most comfortable, most durable shoes I've tried, and I've never once had to take them off for security.

A bit pricey, but worth it IMHO.

Deer Stags....very comfortable and no break-in time.

 

[Tarquinn]

Ecco's seem to be the most popular choice. I wear Thorogood ankleboots that have never beeped once. They do require a short breakin period, but I'm on my second pair and the first pair lasted ten years.

Where do you buy all these?

 

[MQAAord]

Dunham brand. Composite shank, no beep.

 

[SWA/FO]

these are awesome. No metal and you don't even have to tie your shoes. They look great with jeans too (even FAs named Jean).

The best part about Deer Stags is they are cheap. About 40 bucks or so. They actually have a few styles that are somewhat hip. I go for the slip-ons, "Vegas" model. You can purchase them at Burlington Coat Factory or online. No shanks, no worries, and they are very comfortable.

Those look pretty good, but I wear 11's, and it looks like they start at 12's.

Bug Mega

Buy the Ecco's--trackers with the smooth toe. Then put a military spit shine on 'em so you can bug the heck out of MegaDeath. Just technique, though. WS

BS flag going up right now. Those are the dorkiest looking shoes I have ever seen.

You couldn't get action in a whorehouse with hundred dollar bills falling out of your pockets wearing those shoes.

Rockports from the local Nordstrom, comfy and they look good.

Ecco without a doubt.
About a buck and a half but worth the cost. Feel like you have been wearing them for months the first time you put them on!

Anyone know the official policy on shoe removal (have a link) I was just ORDERED by the TSA in Savannah to take my shoes off. According to the agent "it's official policy". It's getting to the point that I want to print something off the TSA web site and jam it in their face.

And I wear Ecco's that don't have any metal in them.

at least people see my shoes. most people are sleeping when your wearing yours, except your co-workers.

I wore a pair of Doc's for 8 years. Believe it or not, I almost wore them out. They were getting kind of ratty so I bought a new pair. Never buzzed once. Most comfortable dress shoes I've ever had.

Oh yeah, I bought them in HKG with black stitching. I've seen them in Canada and on the internet like that too.

AAflyer, I like your boots but for Type-IV days this is what I'm wearing.

Shoes off if you are not in uniform is my understanding.

Deerstag. DSW warehouse for $50. Or, Zodiaks are the way to go if you can find them.

 

[SWA/FO]

Those look pretty good, but I wear 11's, and it looks like they start at 12's.

those are UK sizes. I think a UK12 is a US11. But, I'm not a full-time shoe guy.

Also at JC Penny for about $40.
