Why Does He Step On My Feet

It sounds like he just loves to be near you, and by stepping on your feet, he is pretty near.
opakki's advice should work, though I'd choose to counter attack this problem as well. Perhaps train him to do some kind of distance work? If he knows sit, increase distances that he must perform this behavior. Hopefully trainign distance work with tons of positive reinforcement will help him gain confidence even when he isn't directly near you.
Goodluck.

So you're saying I should teach him to never crowd me? I guess that would work. He has to be close to me to be able to put his paws on my feet. (He likes to sit on feet too, lol)
More info: Lol Dakota is so weird. You can be standing still together somewhere and he'll move over closer just to put his paw on your foot. What the HECK does this behavior mean? Anybody know?

Mine are like that. They want to be touching if at all possible. Sometimes all it takes is a little verbal reassurance and a touch and they go back to their business, lol.
