As of July 8 you will no longer have to take your shoes off at RSW or any U.S. airport security checkpoints. “TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoint," said Kristi Noem, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

TSA will allow passengers to keep their shoes on when they go through the general security line at many major airports across the country.

The TSA has eliminated the 19-year-old policy, effective immediately. Policies on liquids will remain in place.
