the cloven feet are not really important,but they are mentioned when Othello learns that iago has decieved him (after emilia tells the truth about the hankerchief). Othello looks down at Iago's feet to see if he had cloven feet, not because he actually believed that Iago's feet would be cloven, but because he symbolically learned that he was decieved by a devil(Iago).
