Cats are especially sensitive to the pheromones/sweat your foot produces. They typically love that scent. I've caught several of my cats with their faces buried in stanky shoes on multiple occasions.
I was cat sitting for my sister in law, and her cat jammed her whole face deep into my shoe and sat there for a minute. When I got home, my cat did the same thing on the same shoe. After that I was pretty self conscious about stinky feet.
