Haven't ever removed shoes at any station....
and to up that a bit.... been to more than a few airports where a company emblem polo shirt, dockers and your crew ID was enough to jump the line, not take off shoes, and zip right through... with all your bathroom gear still packed away. Apparently there is NO national standard from DHS/TSA on what is, is not, required. Each FSD at each airport basically is the king of his own little fiefdom.
