Low friction is made when you rub smooth surfaces together, and they slide easily. For example, a melting ice cube would easily slide across a glass table because there is low friction. In contrast, high friction is when there is high resisting force. For example, if you rub velcro across a rug, there would be high friction, and it would be more difficult than sliding the ice across the glass table.

Not sure if that's what was asked though it's a good example.
Sliding per se can be anything from skating on ice (very low friction on a very small scale) to geological processes involving vast forces, times and friction.

Is friction high or low on ice?
low
How is low friction useful in your life?
Friction can be very useful in your life. You need low friction when you ski. If you have high friction you cannot glide easily on the snow. You can also use low friction when you ice skate. If you have high friction you cant glide across the ice. When you use your laptop your keypad has to be able to glide. Some examples of high friction are erasing with your pencil, rubbing your hands together etc.
Is the rubber grip of a bike handlebar high friction or low friction?
it gets hot
Riction between two flat surfaces can be divided into two categories What are the two most common kinds of friction?
High friction and low friction.
What is low and high friction inside the house?
I assume you are looking for examples. Low friction: drawer-slides, door-hinges, water flowing through the pipes. High friction: carpet pile, some types of window catch so the casement stays where set.

How does friction affect shoes?
Low friction is slippery high friction has good traction. In the sport of Curling (gliding those heavy granite stones on ice towards a bullseye) one shoe has low friction (to slide on the ice) the other has high friction (to propel the player).

first they are called cleats not boots and they dont have friction.
