It's a body language cue for the dog. If you always start walking with the left foot the dog knows to "heel" and go with you. If teach that when you leave the dog and say "stay" and step off with your right foot they must not move.
It's just and extra cue for the dog to know to stay or go with you. Sometimes it helps as dogs are so good at reading body language.
