Just looked up unicde reference for emojis at W3 Schools, and ... no feet.
So, the answer is
- stick to brushes, or
- go to inkscape?

"Footprints" is a standard emoji, with an assigned Unicode position. You should have it in your default font, especially if you see something here: ->?<- (yes this is a plain character, not a pasted image). This said, for other reasons it is unusable, because it is not just an outline, and the orientation is wrong.

Gimp 2.10.18; Windows 10
I have little control on the slider widget. If you have a wheel mouse, each tick of wheel adds/subtract two. And when the focus is on the slider, the left&right cursor keys add/subtract one. Would entering numbers be easier?
Also noticing the difficulty: personally, I would prefer numbers...
I tested brush footprints_01 with the Ofnuts script (brush strokes on path), but nothing happens. I thought it was because of the .gih type, but then I tested other .gih brushes and they all worked with the script.
Why in particular does this FootPrints_01_small brush produce nothing when executing the script?

Same snag here. Maybe due to:
Using manually the brush,
* it paints if the brush is dragged
* it doesn't pint if it's clicked--sparks, for example, paints both on clicking the brush and on using the plug-in
* normally stroking the path with the brush + emulate brush dinamics works, semi-transparent.
Issue with the brush dinamics??!!
