The closest I've come to this is when me and my son had to remove our shoes at the airport. My son is over 6' tall and autistic which lends to his stashing small, odd items in his pockets. So I patted him down after we got out of the car, made sure he wore a plastic latch belt that day, didn't wear any jewelry and his pockets were empty. So when he set the metal detector off, I was dumbfounded. The wand picked up our shoes. This was before removing your shoes before going through security was a standard.
I wore hiking boots and he sport shoes. The boy wears a size 13 1/2. That's when I found out there were metal stays in shoe soles.
Once we got his shoes off and they were examined, one of the guys said he'd hate to be kicked by one of those. Can't say as I blame him.
