Airport Safe Shoes

Princess When we first saw that Zappos has a section dedicated to 'Airport Safe' shoes, we thought the world had finally gone loopy. Then we had flashbacks to LAX in September, and the woman in front of us being forced out of her metal spike-heeled boots before she could board her plane. With airport security as tight as it now is, you really do need to think about the steel content of your footwear as well as whether you put that nail file in your suitcase and not your hand luggage! Sadly much of Zappos choices seem to sacrifice style for security, though most Doc Martens and Uggs are airport safe. Since the main concern is comfort when flying, for our pick of the bunch we've gone for a trainer, the Reebok Classic Princess for $52.
