Get shoes without metal shanks and you won't have to, haven't had to take off my shoes at an airport for years now (while in uniform). I remember STL used to give pilot hard time about shoes but they finally caved in. Can't think of any other airport where you still have to take your shoes off while in uniform. What airport are you having problems with?
