Forget shoes. Get some boots! Justin ropers are made in an airport friendly version. Benefits are numerous. No need to tie laces, waterproof, durable, no need for black socks. Plus they look great and can be worn with your plain clothes on the overnight, eliminating the need to bring another pair of shoes, thus saving much needed luggage space.

Heritage Ropers in winter.

Just bought some Dockers for summer...we'll see how they hold up. Got them for $58, marked down from $90 at Kohl's.

Years ago, I had Hushpuppies that lasted about 3 years. Great shoe.

Bostonian FlexLite

Get them from Nordstrom Rack for about $60, lightest shoes on this planet.

They'll last you 12 months as an FO and 2 years as a CA as long as you keep them clean (like most men should).

I say again Bostonian FlexLite from Nordstrom Rack

Agreed. Any Ecco shoe.

Dockers for sure. $60 at DSW/Kohl's. My pair lasted a year and half, and that was only because of a LOT of walking through puddles of deicing fluid. My only complaint is that the shoelaces suck, but you can pick up a pair anywhere for nothing.

No metal? Airport friendly? I see it on the website. Looks nice.

Yup, not a single metalic part on the entire shoe!

Just make sure you try them on in the store before you buy them...I've had one that was wide and the other narrow before. DERP!

They're the ONLY shoe I wear to work now.
