Actually, you do not have to take off your shoes for domestic or international flights from Canada. You do have to take of your shoes for US flights. See the end of the page in this link. I think people automatically take off their shoes because they have been doing it for years and because some screeners ask everyone to take off their shows because most PAX do not know if their shoes have metal.
They do off course ask you to place your shoes in the bins for scanning if they have metal parts.
