Of the ones ww queried, I have heard:
my foot! an expression of disbelief, similar to pull the other one
to find one's feet to get to know the ropes
to get to one's feet to stand up, usually to give a speech
to put a foot wrong I've only heard this one in the negative to not put a foot wrong -- to perform perfectly without any mistakes
to set foot again usually in the negative to have never set foot somewhere -- emphatic way of saying you've never been there (because it's a disreputable place?)
Wordwind also glosses to foot it as to hurry, but I've always heard it as meaning to dance.
