Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced July 8 that the Transportation Security Administration has eliminated its “shoes-off” policy, meaning the extra step of taking off your shoes will no longer be required at TSA-operated airports.

We don’t mean to make light of the very serious topic of airline safety. TSA must remain vigilant of evolving threats. And whatever security policies TSA puts in place, we are willing to oblige — despite inconveniences — to keep airline travel safe.

After nearly two decades, passengers going through airport security in the United States will no longer have to take their shoes off.

After you make it through in record time at the airport, you’ll enjoy having these comfortable shoes for the rest of your trip.

Passengers traveling through New Hampshire's Manchester–Boston Regional Airport can now keep their shoes on at the security checkpoint. That's one less thing air travelers have to remember to do while they're hurrying to their gate.

Traveling through the Boise Airport just got easier as TSA updated their screening policies last week. All passengers can now keep their shoes on when going through security checkpoints.
