nope... because you will slip... you need friction to even stay still... and u need friction to push ur foot and take a step...
like ex. u run faster on aspalt than dirt road cuz aspalt gives u more friction. so like aspalt road is better for cars. cuz friction is opposite force to ur force moving forward... which means u cannot walk because normally, when u take a step ur foot tats on floor has to bet sorta "glued" on the floor by friction. but if the floor is frictionless, ur supporting foot will slip, u will probably fall.

no,
when we walk on the floor , we make a force to the floor, then the friction makes a force against our force, and this force is the reason of that we can walk on the floor.
if the floor is frictionless , the wouldn't be any force to make us go forward, then we cannot walk there.
(the friction is an electromagnetic phenomena &...)

no, people cannot walk on a frictionless floor

nope
you could stand of course (but it would be impossible to catch your balance if something made you momentarily lose it)
the way we walk, we propel ourselves forward by pushing on a leg, and this is possible thanks to friction.
the way we "walk on ice", i.e. skate, we still propel ourselves with a leg pushing, only we have blades that won't slip sideways and thus allow us to push. we can of course still walk on ice because it is not exactly frictionless.

First of all, a friction less floor cannot be build. Secondly if it is built, One cannot walk on it with ordinary shoes.

if one existed, no you could not. friction, or opposite force is the cause of you moving in the first place. you would not be able to push your foot off of the ground.

Yes they can.
You just lift the foot up and put it down perpendicularly on the floor. attach your shoes to the floor. Remove other foot. put it down perpendicularly on the floor. attach your shoes to the floor. Remove other foot......

How's it possible? Nobody can do that.

No.
But they can skate!
