Seems like Ecco seems to be the most popular. Just ordered a of pair Helsinki Oxfords online from Nordstrom.
Actually just purchased a pair of Bostonian Flexlites a few months ago and can't say enough bad things about them. Shoes were lace ups, but stretched so much that they slip on and off. Sole has minimal support and the top arch of my feet hurt after wearing them all day.
Feel like I'm becoming a shoe snob, but hope the Eccos do the trick.

I second the Johnson & Murphy's most comfortable damn paid of dress shoes I have ever owned. I much prefer the slip on for the ease of passing through security. I just ordered another pair after three years, the old ones still look good but wearing them daily I would like a second pair to rotate.

Go to ECCO USA | Mens Shoes | Womens Shoes | Golf Shoes | Accessories | FREE SHIPPING
select mens helsinki (lace up). Look at bottom of description. These are "airport friendly". Make sure you check before you buy them online.
Not all Ecco are A-friendly. I went to the Ecco store at Mall of America and specifically asked for A-friendly. Went through the metal detector and sure enough, my original Ecco's were not airport friendly. They gladly exchanged them. They also have slipper type airport friendly shoes. Best shoes I have owned, by the way.

Yes, they have no shank period.
Solid sole.
They DO wear out but at 40-60 bucks a pair they're definitely what we regional pilots need.
As an FO I could expect a pair to last 12-18 months without trouble and I'm thinking double that as a CA now that I don't have to walk through glycol 6 times a day.
