This kind of professionalism is what you owe your passenger, your family and yourself.
BTW, If I am indeed the recipient, either tell me my shoes don't look professional (when we fly) or don't even mention it on a public forum. That's also professionalism.
If they have the Velcro straps, it's approved!
