Airport and Foot Friendly Trade Show Shoes?

Posted by Cliff on from the I'm-so-tempted-to-use-the-foot-icon dept.

Milo_Mindbender asks: "Where the heck can you find shoes that let you handle the ten or more hours a day of continuous walking computer trade shows require and won't set off the airport metal detectors? I used to go for hiking boots, but can't find a pair that don't buzz, even after I've stripped off every other particle of metal. I'm getting tired of trial and error (and blisters/sore feet when I go to CES, SIGGRAPH...etc). Does anyone have any suggestions?"

    This is the stupid ask slashdot I've ever seen. Have you tried shoe stores? Do you want me to try shoes on for you? Come on Cliff... this is useless.

    Stop whining like a little bastard and try to comprehend how lucky you are to even have the opportunity to go to big fun fancy tradeshows.. Heck, you should be lucky you have feet.
