Shoes?
 
What are the required specs for shoes for most regionals? Are they all leather dress / Oxfords, or something else? :confused:

Black leather, no broguing. That is pretty much the standard. I have a pair of ecco slip-ons and a set of dress boots from Johnston & Murphy Larry boots.

I just buy Allen Edmund's used off eBay. A $400 dress shoe for $140 with no metal shank and won't look like **** after a year.

Ecco slip-on Helsinki, if you keep them shined about once a month they'll last you for years and still look new. And they are airport friendly so you won't have to take them off if you go through security screening.

Shoes?
 
I use the lighted ones. You know with wheels and blue lights in the heels.

Considering the OP merely holds a private pilot certificate, I'm not quite sure why he's asking about shoes. You got a few other things to take care of before you start worrying about which shoes to buy...

Kinda threw me for a loop too: MB will expound on the merits of unfettered free market capitalism, the foolishness of FAA licensing requirements, and the debilitating effects of unionism on the airline pilot career but he wants advice on which shoes to wear?!

I searched for the video of the regional airline pilot that did some kind of music video or something like that rolling around the terminal on those kids shoes with wheels in the heel...but, alas, I couldn't find it... I think it's the perfect recommendation here.

Don't forget about boots. Justin and Ariat make nice black dress boots that are great for keeping your feet warm and dry while trudging through snow and slush if you're flying up north in the winter.
