To understand what it is difficult to walk on sand we need to know how do we walk?
Walking is a process where we put pressure on earth and when one of our legs is pressing the earth hard we take our other leg in air and take a step.
This process is ok with hard earth but if we are on sand, our leg started going down inside sand and that is why we feel hard to walk on sand.
Yes, you can walk on a sand dune, but it can be challenging due to the shifting nature of sand. Walking uphill on a sand dune requires more effort than on solid ground, but it can be a fun and rewarding experience. Be prepared for the physical exertion and wear appropriate footwear.

Sand can make a squeaky sound when small air pockets between the grains are compressed as you walk on it. The friction between the grains of sand rubbing against each other can also create a squeaky noise.
Walking on fresh snow can be easier or more difficult depending on the texture and depth of the snow. Fresh, fluffy snow can provide a soft and cushiony surface to walk on, whereas wet or compacted snow may be more difficult to walk through. Additionally, deep snow can require more effort and energy to walk through compared to shallow snow.
Combining sand and thumbtacks may result in the thumbtacks getting embedded in the sand. The sand particles may help hold the thumbtacks in place, making them difficult to remove. It could also create a potentially unsafe situation if someone were to accidentally touch or step on the mixture.
The high heels sink into the sand.
When you walk on sand two thing happen that makes it hard to walk 1. the ground is uneven making you feet shift and slip 2. sand gets on you foot causing resistance. hope this helps!
It is hard to walk on sand as - first we need to understand how we walk. every action has an equal opposite reaction (i.e. when we walk on earth we put a certain amount of force on the ground that reverts that force back on us) but when we walk on sand it is not hard and soft we fall into it and it doesn't give us and EQUAL opposite reaction.
Sand has a very low bearing capacity. Hence, your feet tend to sink into it.While walking, you have to continually 'dig' yourself out of the sand with every step you take.
It's difficult to walk on ice because the lack of friction between the ice and your shoes makes it easy to slip. Walking on sand is challenging because the loose granules shift under your weight, requiring more effort to maintain balance and move forward.
Antlions have huge mandile which makes it difficult to walk so it walk backwards dragging the mandible and also makes doodles on the sand giving them the name doodlebug.
Sand-logged refers to when an area is saturated or soaked with water, such as sand on a beach after heavy rainfall or high tides. This condition can limit movement and make the sand heavy and difficult to walk through.

Because flat shoes have a much wider base than pointed heels so they spread your weight out more, to you walk more on top of the sand, like snowshoes. Whereas pointed heels have a very narrow base that causes you to sink into the sand a bit more, making it a little like walking in quicksand.
When you walk on dried sand, you sink because the grains of sand are not tightly packed together, so they easily shift and move under the pressure of your weight. This causes the sand to lose its stability and support, making you sink into it as you walk.
