does anybody knows if shoes still need to come off at the PTY security line these days when going from landside to airside?
(i know shoes need to come off during secondary screening at departure gate for US-bound flights)

Last time I was there was Oct 2021, but you did have to take your shoes off at the initial security. I don't think I took them off at the gate security (US flights), but did have to dump water. Pretty poor set up with no bathrooms/water in the gatehouse w/o having to go through security again. Surprising in a nice new airport wing.

My first flight out of Canada in a few years last December, I was surprised I was allowed to keep shoes on. It seemed like if you had simple sneakers/slip ons it was OK.

Have flown through IST, PRG, BHX, MGQ, AMS, GRU, GIG, AEP, PDP, NAT, REC, MVD, ZRH and FRA in last three weeks.
AMS and MGQ were the only ones that required shoes off. AMS seems to depend on shoe type whilst MGQ requires all shoes off.

Any recent flights through ICN? Have a transit security and normal check-in security coming up. Shoes, any crazy liquid/electronics rules?

Shoes have not come off in AMS in many years. Thinking pre-pandemic. No laptops or liquids out for years as well. Smooth sailing if it weren’t for their staffing issues the part few years.
