Yes, it is. Walking is due to the fact that, when feats move horizontally in contact with the street surface while operating a pressure due to the weight of the person on the surface itself, the surface material reacts with an attrition force that propels the person.
Since muscle can exert only forces that are internal to the system constituted by the whole person, in the absence of external forces (like the street surface attrition) no change in the position of the center of mass of the person would be possible.

How does friction affect a person's spin?
Friction slows things down thus the spin of one is slowed.
What does friction mean in the terms of physical science?
I only know this because I learned it in school (5th Grade) so I'm not sure if this is in terms of physical science but friction means for something to come to a stop or slow down. For example: If 2 people were going down a slide, and one person went down the slide with a cloth underneath them and the other person had nothing underneath them, then the person with the cloth is going to go faster because the person without the cloth is creating friction when he/she rubs (goes down) the slide.
What are the 2kinds of friction?
Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.
3 examples of static friction?
One example of static friction is the inability to push a car parked down the street. Another example is a block on an inclined table that does not slide. Last example is the pushing of a couch. Static friction is provided by the slippers which allows for gripping the floor.
What type of friction slows down movement?
all friction slows down movement
What are sources of friction?
Driving a car down the street is a source of friction. Rolling a bowling ball down the lane is also an example of friction.
How friction useful when walking down an icy street?
It is useful
Is friction useful when walking down an icy street?
It's useful
How does friction affect a person's spin?
Friction slows things down thus the spin of one is slowed.
Why is friction needed to be able to ride a bike?
Because when we ridind the bike faster to slow down the brake is important
Why friction is problem?
Friction can be a problem as it slows down the movements of objects. It may also stop the movement of object and as such, a bigger force is needed to make the object move faster.
What if your walking down the street describe the forces acting on you and use Newton's laws of motion to describe your motion?
law of gravity and friction
