Usually, when you hear someone say "I'm putting my foot down," they mean that they are going to stick by their decision and you must go along with them because they outrank you. You hear this a lot with parents telling their children that the rule cannot be broken. The image is of you standing firm with your feet not moving no matter what the other person tries to do.
