TSA Approved Heels

Question

I travel often and I have TSA pre. I like to wear heels when I travel but always can't seem to find a pair that is TSA approved where the heel isn't stabilized by metal and I have to remove it. Any suggestions that you have had luck with for a 3-4 inch, chunkier heel or wedge?

Unfortunately, I have not had much success in this department either, whether its heels or ankle boots. (And the one's I have found without a metal stabilizer last exactly one trip...if I'm lucky.) I have resigned myself to wearing cushy flats, and packing the heels, even though they take up more room in the carry on. I can zip through Precheck that way, and still have them handy to put on after landing and on my way to visit my customers.

Search for flight attendant shoes. I travel a lot and they started marketing to me ?. I haven’t tried them yet, but here’s an example brand that caters to that specific need.

I’ve heard that flight attendants like wearing Clarks heels, so I’m guessing they would be approved — and they wear the chunkier ones versus the spikey versions (Clarks has both). I’ve been thinking of getting some because I’ve been told they’re super comfortable.

Flip flops through TSA. Heels in the carry on.  Switch them out somewhere along the way.
