That basic principles are the same, lower center of gravity, roll the foot from heel to toe along the blade of the foot and practice, practice, practice.... The rolling motion eliminates the slapping sound most people make when walking, from the ball of the foot hitting the ground. Practice in 1) bare feet 2) slippers or socks 3) sneakers 4) boots 5) sandals. All tof them have distinctive sounds when contacting the ground and cause you to move your foot a certain way. The idea is for you to control your feet. Not what you are wearing or the surface you are walking on.
