Oxford online dictionary tells both of them to be correct.
In British English "on foot" is used to express "walk".
"To be on your feet" means "to be well after some illness".

'To be back on your feet again"= to have recovered after an illness/problem. Feet is plural.
Generall, we use 'by' to describe the mode of transport. I travel by car, by plane, by train, by camel.
