Jesus taught and demonstrated humility, agape, and service in many ways other than footwashing. Therefore when he says we OUGHT TO WASH ONE ANOTHER'S FEET he is not speaking metaphorically.
One cannot wash one another's feet by not washing one another's feet.

Footwashing was a custom they did back then in the first century when they wore sandals. But now a days it seems out of place in the USA to do that. I don't want anyone to wash my feet. Aren't there other acts of service and hospitality we could do for one another?
