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?"

    However in an attempt to be somewhat helpful, try some skate shoes, I wear Adio and I like them, or spend some more serious money and get a pair of Rockfords or Echos...

    Birkenstock make shoes, as well as sandals.

    You'll probably think they can't possibly be comfortable when you first try them. I mean, where's the soft padding and the foam insole? But give it a try and you'll be converted.
