Hi Hannah.
You're right; it's not good for her.  My brother's golden licked his feet
so much he got a granuloma between his toes, which had to be removed.
I've heard of a product called Bitter Yuk.  One sprays it on the thing the
dog licks, and it has a nasty taste. You could ask about it, or something
similar, at your local pet store.
Like Steve says, allergies can cause excessive licking.  You could ask
your vet.  I wonder if wiping her feet with a damp cloth might help? 
Maybe they itch?
Sometimes, excessive licking can start as boredom, then turn into a
habbit.  But I think, if she just started it, allergies are more likely.
HTH.
