Are you sure he isn't just licking in between his toes? It is really easy to get infections on their feet from excessive moisture from licking.
I would ensure that his nails aren't too long or broken, that there isn't any redness or swelling, and no injuries. If dogs are allergic to things, one of the signs is paw licking, just FYI.

(can you tell we have a dog with foot troubles?)

Have you had his nails cut recently? I've seen our old dog do this when her nails were a little long. HTH.
