Why do you need to do walk?

If there was no friction, your foot would simply slide back as you tried to take steps, and you would go nowhere.

In order for something to move, it has to have a force moving it. That force has to have leverage, or friction. For the force pushing a person forward, there is an equal force pushing backward on the ground or floor. You can observe this by placing round pencils under a board, stand on it, and try to step off in the perpendicular direction : the board will roll backward as you step forward.
