What does stepping foot mean?

The phrase "stepping foot" or, to "step foot" is a grammatically correct way of illustrating ones appearance or new coming to a a new or unfamiliar environment. One could use this phase in such a sentence as, "I am soon to be "stepping foot" on the moon. This phrase is commonly used by intelligent scholars of the English language, but may not be so familiar to foreigners or uneducated persons. EDIT {Adam C., native English speaker}: Um, no, "Step foot" is actually a grammatically and idiomatically INcorrect variation on the standard phrase, which is "SET foot". You will hear many American English speakers using "step foot" and its popularity will likely increase with time, but at present it is still widely regarded as wrong. Formally, "step" is an intransitive verb that takes no direct object, and thus "to step foot" is ungrammatical: You may step ON, OFF, or INTO places WITH your feet, but you don't step places or feet! "Set" is the transitive verb you need: when you step somewhere, you set your foot in/on a place. Thus: "Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon," and "I'm never setting foot in her house again as long as I live!"
