Airport Friendly Shoes are shoes made without the use of steel in the construction, which makes them easily worn in airports. Airport Friendly Shoes are easier to travel with because they can be worn through metal detectors at airports without being stopped.
About Airport Safe/Steel Free:
Airport Safe/Steel Free footwear refers to footwear made without the use of steel. In order to provide basic support and stability, shoes generally feature a metal plate called a shank, which is located within the sole and right below the arch. Airport Safe/Steel Free shoes replace this steel structure with a composite, non-metal shank that will not trigger metal detectors, yet still offers the same support.
