Shoes for airplane travel

I have some Steve Maddens that are comfy and good for travel... They feel like walking on kittens.

Loafers...agree with the Steve Madden suggestion above.

is where it's at.

I have Salvatore Ferragamos and feel like I'm destroying the shoe when I have to take it off and put it back on through security without a shoe horn. And no one wants to walk around with one of those

loafers or boat shoes

Same one you will wear at work. If you can wear it for 12+ hours/day at office, you sure can wear it for 2 hour flights. If you are flying to Bahrain or something every week from US, different story.

My dad travels a lot, he just wears a comfortable pair of loafers. If you get off the plane and go straight to meetings, have an extra pair of shoes in your bag and change in the cab.

Here's what your decision process should look like:

Are you wearing a suit? Wear oxfords, wingtips, or balmorans (oxfords without the two flaps over the tongue). Please don't wear loafers - I know they're comfortable but it just doesn't look professional.

Are you wearing anything else? Wear whatever's comfortable. I generally wear oxfords with business casual, jeans, etc.

Wearing oxfords adds ~30 seconds to my trip through security, and it's on the far end where I don't have irate people clogged up behind me. I don't think loafers are a professional shoe - and I know 90% of the consulting world disagrees. Just goes to show you should do whatever makes you happy.

Drivers. Especially for a pretty long flight and/or if you fly a lot - you want a flexible sole and non-constricting toe box. http://mobile.usablenet.com/mt/www.neimanmarcus.com/store/catalog/templ…

This. Casual. Formal. Done.

Hate the design of the shoe -- the end is way too pointy. Besides, I don't think Chelsea boots would be that comfortable for a long flight.
