Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

During this era it was customary for a household servant to remove a guest's sandals and wash the dust from his feet. John is saying that he is not worthy even to remove Christ's sandal, let alone to touch His feet.
