Kenny likely has allergies -- and the feet take a beating because it's the first place they 'show' and the feet walk thru all sorts of green stuff, pollen, etc.
Try swishing Kenny's feet in black tea (plain old Lipton or whatever) once a day and dry with a turkish towel -- it helps. Be faithful tho -- but it will help.
You may also want to try Benedryl -- can help particularly if it's seasonally worse.
Teach him 'no licking' as a command. When you see him lick, GO TO HIM and massage the feet and say "no licking, Kenny". Distract him. Nothing will make him stop -- they TINGLE and bother him. And then once started it's an instant habit.
