Best Answer

When you walk it requires a force which is reacted by the floor in opposite direction. With zero friction it is difficult to make any forward progress as no force is reacted, so you cannot walk but will slip.You can try to put foot down always normal to the floor, and you make some progress, but mostly you will be sliding, not walking.

Can you walk on a friction less floor why?

No. There would be no force being applied to the floor by your foot (friction) so there would be no force from the floor in response pushing your foot forward. According to newton's 3rd law. (every action has an equal and opposite reaction)No I can't.. No one can.
