You cannot take liquids through security, so the rules are basically same as in the US for that. Never had an issue with shoes in European airports so it is okey to keep on. You have to, as in the US, take your laptop out. The big difference is that it is not the TSA who runs the security business there, so pat downs are done in a professional manner if you are so unlucky to be selected for random or set off the WTMD.
