Looking for some shoes
I know the topic has been addressed before, but things change, maybe there are better options. I'm looking for some shoes that have a high rate of success through non-carnival airports. I like athletic shoes with good padding, but since they tend to go greater than 1" they are a problem. I just want some good presentable, black shoes that offer minimal trouble. Anyone know of any?

First thing I'd start with is not trusting the "airport friendly" signs. 
Seriously though ... how much are you looking to spend? Are you thinking more along the "Payless" budget, or something like the $40-60 range?

The best airport shoes
Best shoes for security are made by ECCO. Not cheap, but also exceptionally comfortable walking shoes, and presentable for both business casual and business. I have a 100% success rate with them. Unfortunately, due to shoe carnival issue, I still am asked to take them off occassionally, but they have never triggered the screening.
