Radiation
False. When you walk barefoot on hot sand, heat is transferred to your feet through conduction, not radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between two materials at different temperatures.
Heat transfer from the cement to your feet can occur through conduction. When you walk on the cement, heat from the cement is transferred to your feet by direct contact. Cement is a good conductor of heat, so the transfer occurs quickly.
As you walk barefoot on a hot sidewalk, the sidewalk molecules vibrate more due to the heat, transferring thermal energy to your feet. The heat is moving from the sidewalk (higher temperature) to your feet (lower temperature), causing your feet to feel hot. The increased molecular vibrations in the sidewalk result in the sensation of heat on your feet as thermal energy is transferred.
Walking barefoot on hot sand transfers heat to your feet through conduction, not radiation. Conduction is the direct transfer of heat from one object to another through physical contact. In this case, the heat from the hot sand is conducted through your feet when you walk on it.
Friction between your shoes and the ground is the force that keeps your feet from sliding as you walk. The rough texture of your shoe sole and the ground surface creates resistance against sliding motion.

Firewalkers can walk barefoot on red-hot wooden coals because wood is a poor conductor of heat, meaning the heat is not easily transferred to the walker’s feet. Additionally, firewalkers move quickly, minimizing the time their feet are in contact with the hot coals. Finally, the moisture in their feet may create a thin layer of steam between their skin and the coals, providing some insulation from the heat.
Teflon, Ice or an oiled surface.
Heat is transferred by thermal conduction.
They have feet with wide surface area so they can walk on water.
The Earth's gravity keeps our feet firmly on the ground.
There is more friction, this ensures your feet do not slide
Friction between your shoes and the ground is the force that keeps your feet from sliding as you walk. The rough texture of your shoe sole and the ground surface creates resistance against sliding motion.
