Security Question - Running Shoes
I apologize if this question should be posted somewhere else.
What is the latest TSA requirement for shoes? I typically wear Nike running shoes that have pressurized air in a urethane bag in the heels. From the outside, though, it looks like gel.
Will I be able to wear these on my upcoming Northwest flight (my attempt at making this thread relevent to the NW board)?
Thanks

Gel shoe inserts - Gel shoe inserts are not permitted, but shoes constructed with gel heels are allowed and must be removed and screened.
Gel-filled bras are permitted as well.
