I originated at LHR T5 a couple of weeks ago and shoes did not have to come off. Perhaps the origination drill differs from the connection drill.

Sometimes they do require shoes off at T5 connections. Unlike the states where it is mandatory, LHR has a 'random' policy for shoes, some days yes, some days no.
