I've talked with several TSA supervisors at different airports about this. TSA's official policy is that the shoes on the belt vs shoes in the bin is to be taken under advisement. They don't want stuff hiding the shoes or crammed into the shoes. It isn't rocket science and shouldn't be much, if any, area of contention between TSOs and passengers (but we know how that goes). I look for the signs. No signs and the shoes go into the bin. TSA must improve the way it processes passengers.
