* The Music/BlueOysterCult's song "She's As Beautiful As A Foot" fits here...

* Mentioned several times in Creator/LoisMcmasterBujold's ''Literature/{{Chalion}}'' universe, especially in ''The Curse of Chalion''. Normal respectful greetings involve kissing the back of a person's hands. When it's a high superior[[note]]or someone you owe ''big''[[/note]] one adds their feet as well.

* ''Webcomic/ThePrincesssJewels'': In Episode 6, when Raymond Amber is alone to collect his thoughts after meeting [[TheProtagonist Princess Ariana]], he states he wanted to kiss her feet. In episode 7, after the princess wins Raymond's scavenger hunt soon after it starts, the two lean in for a kiss... and Ariana forces him to his knees and orders him to kiss her foot in front of everyone. Raymond hesitates at first in episode 8... but he eventually gives into his desires and finally does it.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'', Blue Falcon is demoted to restroom attendant. When Harvey Birdman comes by, Blue Falcon starts groveling, kissing Birdman's feet. Then he insists on being kicked and spat on, and takes it as an insult that Birdman declined.
* Subverted with Mort in ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'', who is obsessed with King Julien, especially his majesty’s feet. It's more than just a fetish.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "Fear of Victory", Scarecrow mentions using his Fear Toxin to bring the people of Gotham to their knees and in his own words "...Kissing my feet!"
* Rarity kissing Princess Celestia's hooves in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E9SweetAndElite Sweet and Elite]]", much to Celestia's discomfort.
* Barney nearly makes Fred kiss his in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' episode "Toadie the Conqueror", Toadwart orders everyone to line up and kiss his feet every morning after he conquers Dunwyn. It should be noted that this (and forcing people to wear shirts with his face on them) are pretty much ''all'' he does with the nation he's conquered, as he isn't very bright (only progressing from lackey to conqueror because the magic armor that was the [=MacGuffin=] of the episode happened to be his size) and doesn't know how to actually rule a kingdom.

Compare LiteralAssKissing, which is an even more humiliating gesture of submission that is more likely to be PlayedForLaughs.

* In ''LightNovel/AccelWorld'', Haruyuki does this for Niko [[spoiler: after she agrees to teach him and Takumu about the incarnate system]]. She responds by kicking him.

* The foot massage in ''that'' episode of ''Manga/DeathNote'' is considered fetish material by some, but given the rather blatant religious symbolism in the series, it can be interpreted in a number of ways.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* A frequent source of fetish material in ''Literature/TalesOfMU'', between Mackenzie and Amaranth or Mackenzie and Sooni. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Mack most certainly does not want to worship at their feet. Nope. Not at all.]]
[[/folder]]

* Since he has a foot fetish (among many others), Hideo Aiba from ''Manga/{{Sundome}}'' kisses [[MistressAndServantBoy Kurumi]] [[IllGirl Sahana's]] feet several times.

A character [[IKissYourHand kissing someone's hand]] is used sometimes for romance, and other times to show humility. Sometimes, though, it's not the hand they kiss, but they aim much lower ...no, they don't stop there! GetYourMindOutOfTheGutter!

They kiss the foot.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' episode "Toadie the Conqueror", Toadsworth orders everyone to line up and kiss his feet every morning after he conquers Dunwyn. It should be noted that this (and forcing people to wear shirts with his face on them) are pretty much ''all'' he does with the nation he's conquered, as he isn't very bright (only progressing from lackey to conqueror because the magic armor that was the [=MacGuffin=] of the episode happened to be his size) and doesn't know how to actually rule a kingdom.

* ''[[ComicBook/TheHiketeia Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia]]'', As part of the titular Hiketeia ritual, a potential supplicant must prostrate themselves and this involves kissing the foot and thigh region of the person they wish to protect them.

* ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'' has Nijima telling Kenichi to kiss his foot in exchange for some information. Kenichi [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/c023/15.html decides to just beat it out of him]].

* ''[[ComicBook/TheHiketeia Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia]]'', As part of the titular Hiketeia ritual, a potential supplicant must prostrate themselves and this involves kissing the foot and thigh region of the person they wish to protect them. The character Danny does this to Diana when she comes looking for sanctuary from Batman and the police. Batman [[BatmanGambit attempts this also]] but it gets him a foot the face.

Even when it's not meant to be... romantic, [[CasualKink some people see it that way]]. Not to be confused with ItTastesLikeFeet, although [[Series/{{Friends}} Ross Geller]] might claim that there's some overlap.

* Used in ''Manga/AnatoliaStory'', when [[spoiler: Urhi and Nakia use MindControl on Rusafa to kidnap Yuri. Rusafa has a not-so-secret love for Yuri, and then Urhi leaves, saying Rusafa can finally do whatever he wants to her. Instead of [[SexualHarassmentAndRapeTropes doing something one might expect]] after everything else so far in the series, Rusafa just kisses Yuri's feet over and over.]]
