Default TSA Friendly Shoes

Did a quick search, but didn't have any luck. Anyone have any recommendations for "TSA Friendly" shoes?

I can tell you what not to get... I have always liked my Kenneth Cole "Merge" Oxfords. I have gone through 3 pairs and loved them, but now they use metal shanks that set off the detectors. I'm curious to see what people recommend, because I'm in the market for some good TSA friendly shoes as well.

Ecco makes plenty , and Bostonian makes a lot of good ones fairly cheap as well.

Bates make military and uniform shoes which work great; been wearing them for years. They are reasonably priced if you have access to the Military clothing stores, otherwise the civilian price is about double.

Bostonian flex lite I think is what I have. Had this pair almost 2 years now and going strong. Very, very comfortable too! Price was about $70 if I remember right.

Just picked up some Deer Stags "Times". They're lace up if that's your thing, but are pretty comfy.

Seems if they're all over the discount retailers now, Famous Footwear, Off Broadway, etc.

I had the Dockers Pro Style and it was time for a new pair but it seems they discontinued the slip on style that I like and couldn't find them anywhere.

+1 for the Deer Stags. Comfortable and durable so far...
