funny story. my wife and i both wore our DANNER hunting boots onto a plane. we unlaced early, and dragged our laces loose while we shuffled up the line. the lady and husband behind were rolling eyes at us. she couldnt stand it anymore, and had to say something. she said, "why dont you wear easy slip on shoes when you know you need to take off your shoes?" she was wearing trendy strappy sandals, and he had flipflops.
my wife being the sweet woman she is..says.."oh, we are going hiking later, and we couldnt fit our big boots in our luggage"..I HAD TO PIPE IN. i said, "besides, should there be an "hard landing" and there is fire and broken glass, and twisted metal all over the place, we'll be able to stomp around and over you guys screaming in pain barefooted".
it was awkward afterwards.
