Default Airport friendly shoes?

Time for a new shoe, any recommendations on a comfortable shoe that doesn’t set off metal detectors?

Johnston and Murphy don’t have metal shanks. Pro tip: get them in the PHL terminal to take advantage of no sales tax in PA

I've been wearing these. I like them. Comfortable and metal shank free.

Default Nunn Bush

They have slip-on low tops and the Dakoda high top is good for winter slush ops.

RM Williams are high quality and metal free. On the pricey side, but well worth it.

Had my pair for almost 10 years now, definitely worth the initial investment.
