When we move we kind of push our foot backwards which makes the friction to act in forward direction and gives us a forward push and visa versa . So in a way the backward motion our foot helps the forward motion while the forward motion of our foot kind of helps us go back or stop as friction acts in the backward direction.
Is this how we move !!
