Well, it's more the bottom of your feet. They just see it as a big insult, as it's the dirtiest part of you. Common insult would be Qundirah Ibn Qundirah or something like it. "Shoe son of a shoe."
So if you ever meet an Arab (most get over this one after about a year and they realize we don't think of it as an insult) make it a point to keep both feet facing the floor.
