What force prevents people from sliding when they walk?
Friction. Gravity holds us to the floor, friction keeps us from slipping.
What kind of friction occurs when you walk?
Static friction, because your feet aren't (hopefully!) sliding.
What force allows you to walk up a hill withuot sliding back down?
Gravity in conjunction with friction.
What would happen if there was no friction between your feet and the ground?
You would start sliding forever or trip in an instant and would not be able to stand up and walk properly without holding onto an object. Because friction is what keeps your feet remain still on the ground.

Can a person walk if there is no friction on the surface?
no because you would be sliding if there was no friction.Friction resists the motion caused by another force
Does sand exert an equal but opposite force on your feet as you walk?
Yes
Can you walk friction-less floor?
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.
