I always get shocks when I wear a certain pair of Rockport shoes. A few weeks ago I had to go through airport security, and set off the metal detector after removing everything I had containing metal. The woman screening me noticed my shoes and said "are they Rockports? bet you get a lot of shocks" She asked me to remove them, and put them through the xray. She pointed out the big metal shanks they contain, and then added that her husband had similar and thought that they act as capacitors. I could see this being true I there were two pieces of metal separated by part of the sole, but I only saw one.
I did receive another shock before getting on the plane though.
It's getting so I'm scared of door knobs when I wear 'em. Comfy though.
