Shoes have a higher amount of friction compared to other surfaces. If shoes did not have high friction, then people would be slipping and falling everywhere. I am sure shoe companies do not want this. But some shoes that do have low friction would be a dance shoe or bowling shoes, these are often slideing alot so they have lower amount of friction.
For something to accelerate or go faster, a force needs to be applied to it. When you walk, your shoe wants to slide on the sidewalk, but the friction from the tiny bumps on both surfaces creates resistance that prevents this, and you move forward. The sidewalk friction is actually pushing back on your shoe so you accelerate forward. Hope that helps.
With friction, you aren't able to go SUPER fast (if you like going SUPER fast). Friction slows us down.It depends on the situation. In some cases, yes; in some, no. Take the example of a car. Friction between the moving metal surfaces inside the engine results in wear on the parts. For the brakes, sliding friction between the break disc and the pads is what stops the car.
By slowing down the shoe.
because if the grip would not be proper then you might get slip or may fall down. as there would be no friction between the shoe and the road.
friction materials are the one which help in inducing friction to a friction-less object, like brake lining on the brake shoe is used for inducing friction between the brake shoe and the inner rim of the wheel.

by increasing the roughness of the ground or increasing the sole of the shoes
A shoes sole stops friction. Meaning it stops you from slipping over on different tipes of surfaces. A shoe can have friction when maybe sliding it across a carpet, its alot harder than pushing it across a smoother surface. So shoes can have friction whenever he cant be moved/slid along a surface. Hope i helped and am correct :)

A person can wear moisture wicking socks which decrease friction. Friction between the foot and the shoe is what creates the blister after running .

A high coefficient of friction between the rubber bottom of the shoe and most types of terrain.
Well, if the shoe has rubber soles or are made up of rubber, they will cause friction. However, friction can be found anywhere- all you need are 2 things sliding against each other.
3 ways of decreasing friction in shoes is to put in shoe cookies (shoe pads), bandaids, or stuff them with toilet paper.
