Watch where you walk.
💢If you're walking through the woods or in another outdoor area, try to walk on soft grass or dirt. Walk on wet leaves instead of dry, crunchy ones.
💢When walking outdoors, look for rocks or roots, as they won't crunch like leaves or twigs. Slowly put your weight onto the rock or root to be sure it won't shift or make noise. Once you are certain, put the rest of your weight down.
💢In a city setting, avoid wooden walkways, graveled areas, cobblestones, and other materials that tend to make noise.
Indoors, walk on carpeting whenever possible.

It also requires a better balance than normal movement, and creates a greater impression on softer surfaces (due to the weight being spread over a decreased surface area)
