Best shoe for an airline pilot
Plenty of threads on sunglasses etc any thoughts on the best shoe for a pilot.
Starter for ten
-No internal metal to set off metal detectors
-Sole that doesn't mean you fall a over t doing a walk around through deicing fluid.

Ecco shoes are comfortable enough for even the longest days. Take care of them and they'll last several years. They are pricey but definitely worth it. I believe most styles are airport friendly.

I rather like Doc Martins. They are comfortable and the air ware sole is oil resistant and contains no metal. They went "trendy" a few years back and it can be a bit difficult to source a plain black shoe without visible yellow stitching. They do still make them though so don't let a store persuade you otherwise!

For me it's gotta be R M Williams elastic sided boots. The leather is good quality and they have a plain toecap which takes a good shine. They last a long time too.
Security sometimes pings them but they're a slip on/off so it takes an extra 30 seconds to remove them.

Have a look (other vendors are available!)

RM Williams (comfort sole - no metal - oil resistant sole) for summer ops, Timberland insulated boots for winter ops (insulated, zipper, above ankle, grippy sole).
