Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!
My shoes set off metal detectors, so I'm asking you guys... What kind of shoes do you wear / buy? Any websites would be helpful, as well as comfort / durability.
I feel lame talking about shoes, but whatever! Lay it on me.

I had some dress shoes but they fell apart on me. Expensive ones too. If you like boots try these. http://www.bootcity.com/shop/10Expan...ductCode=35571 They don't set anything off. They look classy too. If you decide to get a pair of boots hand made somewhere just tell them to use the carbon fiber shanks like these and you'll be good to go.
FYI go to a local place and try on a few pair to get the width of your foot right. They tend to fit just right length wise. The most common width for a foot is "D"

Hush Puppies (super lame name). I found a pair that are slip ons, super light, on the cheaper side (around 70 bucks), waterproof, and no metal and they are very comfortable.

A couple of styles to choose from that are well suited for the uniform. I've had mine for over three years and still look good.
