Feet slipping during walk

[deformative]

my problem is that during any type of walk cycle, the feet do a little back and forth sliding when they should remain planted.

im setting keys on my foot controllers when they touch the ground, then another key at the last frame before they should lift off the ground, and another for the next step.

when i then playback the animation, the controllers slip slightly back and forth during the part where it has been keyed to be completely stationary.

they only way ive found to stop this is to copy a key for every frame in which it should remain still , but this gets a bit tedious.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated

there called curves,

have a look in the graph editor and youll see that between the keyframes your characters feet are on the
ground the curves are overshooting, just select the planted keyframes and choose flat from the tangents type by right clicking on the keyframes

Or try clamped curves wich will allow you to still have a nice smooth curve but won't allow it to dip below the ground level
