Storytime: How I got my fetish
9 years ago
General
So a few years back, I got Skyrim for Xbox. Definitely the best game I ever played, despite what some gamers say. Anyways, when I got the game, I didn't have any interest in feet, no - I was a vanilla guy. So when Skyrim started glitching up, the dragons would not "burn up" when defeated, rather becoming ragdolls. It became a running gag among gamers to show off these ragdolls in funny poses, usually with their feet in the air. Examples:

When I first experienced this bug, it was in the hot springs around Bonestrewn Crest. The bug was gamebreaking, but it was also gamechanging. It gave the dragons a comedic value in stark contrast to their nature. So when I had a ragdoll dragon to play around with, I would try to pose it against something, using spells as forces.
Originally, my naughty thoughts were towards their crotch, which featured just an obvious bump. However, as I tried aimlessly to strike a pose, the feet were always dangling in my way. So my eyes kept rolling to them when they moved a lot. One day, I just... changed. There's nothing I can specifically say what ticked, but I suddenly found myself feeling giddy about the feet. I had noticed their feet were so well done and animated. It was eye candy. It made me realize the skyrim dragons were something to cherish, not destroy.
This was before I even thought about Alduin. So when I confronted him, you can imagine I wanted to see what his feet looked like. My first memory of this was running up underneath him as he revived the dragon near Rorikstead. It was a muggy day in the game, and I did what I could to get the best view (slow time and magelight). Thick round toes, deep heel, great texture - I wanted more.
When it came to the fight at the Throat of the World, I had a mischievous idea. I got him downed and rode my horse into him. I pushed him over the cliffside, which caused the game to mess up his orientation when he tried to move around. So here I am sliding down the side of a mountain with a big black dragon following me, shuffling his feet in ways that teased my eager mind. I had a camera with me to capture the moment, but the images were so low quality you could count the pixels. Those images are long gone because of a hard drive wipe. (They weren't worth recovering anyways)
When I reached the endgame boss fight with him, I had other plans. First, I would wait for him to drop close to the ground so that I could get directly beneath him and cast candlelight. When this worked the first time, I couldn't believe my eyes: the candlelight orb colored his swaying feet a tint of blue, like this (that's an actual screenshot I took).
It doesn't stop there. During my second playthrough of Skyrim when I had done just about everything before reaching the end again, I was determined to get closer than ever before. Numerous hours of scrutiny later, I figured out how to "escape" the game boundaries and walk the strange lands beyond Sovngarde. I might be the only one to discover it. Anyways, so I get out into the weird landscape with Alduin chasing me tirelessly. In my exploration, I haphazardly reach the ocean that surrounds Sovngarde at its base. Still, I'm the only one who knows how to reach it. So here's where my clever tactic comes in: waterwalking boots. You see, once in a while Alduin will trigger an animation that lets him stop in midair and drop down gently until he's juuuuust above the water. When that happens, his feet are right up there in your face, swinging up and down so gracefully. I can show you exactly what that looks like: http://imgur.com/a/B80OW (these are large files!). So that's the gist of how I went from "nope" to "hmm" to "ooh" to "omg <3".
Imagine my excitement when I got Skyrim for PC, with screenshot capabilities. And now look at where I'm at with Gmod...
tl;dr dead dragon bug turned me on

Skyrim is definitely a treasure trove for this stuff since the dragons have such marvelous feet; their big soles, long and thick toes, long claws, so beautiful. Those videos you included of Alduin swinging his feet in the camera, that's like kryptonite, it's so perfect.
I'm such a sucker when I'm playing Monster Hunter and I'm fighting a Rathalos, and he starts hovering over the ground and flying with his feet hanging down, and the way his toes/soles bend and flex all the time in his ground movement.
Edit: If you haven't seen it yet, here's the video that is just *umph*: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeHd5GBGZ5o
