In 1859 Faraday discovered that ice at close to room temperature is covered by a thin layer of a liquid-like layer. When you walk on ice, you are actually walking on water, which provides very little resistance to sliding (low coefficient of friction). Furthermore, ice that is not too cold melts when squeezed. As you walk on ice, you press down on it and a thin layer of ice melts under your foot and adds to Faraday's layer. Finally, once you start sliding, the action causes the water, and the ice, to melt more, and adds water to decrease the friction still further.

Why is it difficult to walk barefoot on sand?
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.

How can a person move on hard icy surface?
To move on a hard icy surface, it is important to wear appropriate footwear with good traction like ice cleats or crampons. Walk by taking small steps and keep your center of gravity low to maintain balance. Use walking poles for added stability and take caution when walking on icy patches to prevent slipping.
