Haven't been through LAX in a while, but I seem to remember them being the same.
Actually, they're not so much concerned with metal in your shoes as other type of plastik explosives, and non-metal material. To avoid the hassle now, I just take my shoes off - regardless of the type. It's a pain, but letting TSA raise my blood pressure over it is just not worth it. TSA and the security farce has us FF by the short hairs and there's really nothing we can do about it! Complain yes, and goody, we get to go through personal screening!
