The Goth shoes had steel plates riveted to the outside and could be used as a weapon on flight staff reports airport security.

Sara was questioned by authorities for an hour before allowing to board another flight to Vienna. But only after she removed her boots and hand them in as luggage.

She was then provided with plastic bags to cover her feet as she crossed the frozen runway to board the plane.
