There are two theories for this type. Firstly, that the goddess of love is removing her sandals in preparation for bathing. Although this particular Aphrodite's feet are bare, there are numerous examples depicting the action despite the absence of sandals, cf. The British Museum nos 1865,0711.1 and Badisches Landesmuseum, Karlsruhe, p. 44, no. 464 in A. Gelivorrias, et al., "Aphrodite," in LIMC, vol. II. The second assumption is that she is standing next to water, washing her feet. Regardless, statues of this pose were often used as votive objects around the Mediterranean and this is a later copy of a Greek original.
