In the old days it happened because shoes were valuable and it was a big waste to bury them on a body. Now its a matter of personal preference basically. Its all "what feels right" - one of my high school friends died and her parents were going to bury her in her orchestra clothes with doc martens but changed their minds just because her feet touched the end of her coffin and they decided that she would be "more comfortable" barefoot against the silk liner rather than wearing shoes. So she was shoeless. On the other hand, my grandpa really liked his work boots so he was buried wearing those So it's all personal preference.
