The force of our feet on the water is more than the highest possilble surface tension of water. If you could spread the weight out enough you could walk on water. Some bugs do this quite well. You could also get picky and say walking on ice is walking on water.

Man can walk on water, it has to below 32 deg. F for a while though.

Well, there's a lizard called the basilisk that runs on the water to escape predators. If we wanted to do that, our feet would need to have a surface area similar to that of umbrellas, and we'd have to move our legs *damn* fast.

the surface of your feet is not big enough to make you float or it could be the surface tension of the water
