I've had Dexter shoes that were a couple of years old and never set off the WTMD but they finally wore out. I bought a new pair, similar style, and they were fine thru MLB but they set off the WTMD at BHM.
The TSA agent at MLB said it was "close" whatever that means when I told him I had new shoes and wanted to see if they set off the alarm.
I've googled "Airport Friendly" shoes and I got back dozens of articles that say that there aren't too many airport friendly shoes for women. Can anyone recommend a good stylish shoe for women that are airport friendly? I like to wear a soft slip on shoe similar to this:
