   classical dress shoes often have a metal shank to provide structure. this is why airport security sometimes makes you strip shoes.

     Only reason I could see that being a factor is if the metal detector goes off while wearing the shoes. Making people take off their shoes on the regular in airports happened because of one failed shoe bomber attempt.

     @kaia and the same reason, why sometimes you shouldn't put your shoes to the washing machine.
