* Linguine from ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'' does this after being pushed into his kiss with Colette by Remy, making this an usual male example.

** Makes a [[GenderInvertedTrope gender inverted]] appearance in ''Total Drama World Tour'' when Duncan and Gwen kiss for the second time.

* This trope used to show up frequently in pantyhose and stocking commercials (and some shoe commercials as well) in the 1960s and '70s.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': When Scott and {{ComicBook/Jean| Grey}} get [[TheyDo married]], we see [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ScottJeanWedding_6809.jpg Jean's foot popping as they kiss]] (which is shown on the cover, but merely implied in the comic, as we instead see a closeup of their kiss).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Phineas and Ferb The Movie Across the 2nd Dimension}}'': [[spoiler: Isabella when she finally kisses Phineas.]]
* Linguine from ''{{WesternAnimation/Ratatouille}}'' does this after being pushed into his kiss with Colette by Remy, making this an usual male example.

* ''Series/{{Smallville}}''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', Comicbook/BlackWidow does this as she and ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} share a goodbye kiss.

* Something similar to this happens in the 1996 film ''Film/{{Michael}}'', during Archangel Michael's (John Travolta) dance with hippie waitress Anita (Joey Lauren Adams). After catching Anita in a hug and lifting her up before playfully spinning her around, Anita's shows her enjoyment by her big grin and also by both of her legs doing some foot popping (although this differs from normal as neither of her feet are touching the ground).

* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat'', Kitana does this while delivering her KissOfDeath Fatality.

* In the first ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' movie protagonist Mia's life dream is to meet a guy, fall in love at first sight, and kiss him like this. She expressly specifies the foot pop. Subverted three times and then played straight.
** First try: Daydream sequence, when Mia is kissing the boy and she can't pop her foot because it's cemented to the sidewalk by used gum.
** Second try: Mia and boy are hiding in a shed. Kiss is attempted, foot gets caught in fishing net and she falls over.
** Third try: Guy forces Mia into a kiss with paparazzi surrounding them. She starts to do this, then takes off her sandal and beats the guy over the head with it.
** Fourth try: Mia is (finally) kissing the boy she likes outside, her foot pops properly. Her foot pops such that it turns on the fountains in the garden as well as all the lights, demonstrating that when one kisses the right person, foot pops go perfectly.
* Mia indulges in Foot Popping again in the second ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' movie on two occasions:
** First attempt: Mia gets smooched at a garden party and she does the foot pop.
** Second attempt: Played straight. Mia encounters her true love (the same guy who kissed her earlier) and kisses him in front of the throne; she lifts her foot as the camera pulls back out of the room. Heck, she picks up ''both'' feet on the second one.

* ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton'' (''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' WesternAnimation, [[{{Series}} TV Series]], and ComicBooks.): [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} Katie Kaboom]] does this when she kisses Danny at the end of their date.

* In the final episode of ''WesternAnimation/SonicSatAM'', the titular character kisses Princess Sally, whose foot "pops" off the ground.

According to some commentary on the topic (including several actresses from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood), this trope was/is also intended as a way for starlets to [[ShesGotLegs draw attention to their shapely legs]]. This is borne out by numerous posed "cheesecake" photographs from the 1930's through the 1960's where the model is striking a Foot Popping-style pose without actually kissing anyone (generally she's the only one in the picture). Many old hosiery advertisements (stockings and pantyhose) also used the trope in this way, to showcase their wares by calling attention to the legs wearing them.

* FemmeFatale Megara does this in Disney's ''Disney/{{Hercules}}''.
* Parodied in ''Disney/ChickenLittle'', right before the title character leaves to go stop aliens from destroying the town; he grabs his friend Abby, the Ugly Duckling, delivers a rapid-fire confession of his love for her, and kisses her. Her foot pop is immediate and rather funny.

* ''Film/TheBabysitter'': Done by Cole's 12-year old neighbor, Melanie, when she kisses him right before he leaves to confront Bee. The camera shifts to a close-up of Melanie's barefeet as she pops the heel of her left foot during the kiss.

* In ''ComicBook/XMan'' comic from TheNineties, Nate Grey meets a mutant who uses her [[NinetiesAntiHero life-consuming powers to commit mass euthanasia]]. After they "hit it off", he takes her on a flying ride and kisses her. She lifts her foot.'' While flying.''

* In a ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' novel of the long-running "Weatherlight Saga", the ''Weatherlight'' crew is fighting a group of {{Mooks}}. One of them tries to get a jump on [[WrenchWench Hanna]] from behind. She turns her head, kisses him and does a foot pop. The mook goes down [[GroinAttack clutching himself.]] This may also qualify as both a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]] and [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment of Awesome]].

* ''Webcomic/GastroPhobia'': Phobia does it while kissing Klepto in a panel explaining the [[http://www.gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2013-10-16 "four kinds of love"]] in AncientGreece.
