No, not at all. Its not possible. You can't simply walk on water because you realllllyyyy want to and your shoes are naturally water resistant.

Its either something completely unknown to science and should be throughly investigated (lolno) or its an obvious scam(lolyes).

Keep in mind the mythbusters were trying to leisurely walk or even stand on water. With your legs dedicated to pushing against the surface tension of the water by running at full speed and with shoes that expand to give your feet more surface area, you can get some brief effect. OP's video looks a little excessive, but I don't really know enough of the specifics to say for sure.

1st hint: "It is a new sport in europe"
If something starts with this, you have to listen up. In the americans mind, europe is a foreign and weird place where all things are possible. Homeopath claim that microwaves are banned in europe because they cause death, politicians say europe is communist because they dont have guns, etc.
I can assure you, it is not a sport in europe, we do have microwaves and we do not live in communism.
2nd hint:
They are dressed from head to toe in Hi-tech brand clothing. That is the brand.
3rd hint:
The camera is grade A. The lighting is superb. The angles are perfect. Either you have a very talented young filmster with amazing equipment or it was a production company.

Well, as >>1094083 already stated, Mythbusters did that too. In the episode, the guy not having the walrus mustache and wearing a beret, had two shoes. The one type resembled snow shoes and the other was like mini-canoes in his feet. He plummeted to under-water as he stepped on it with snow-shoes, but the canoe-things helped him stay on surface. However, there is a reason why people SIT while they paddle in canoes. In Myth Busters, the balance for these canoe-shoes was pretty much fucked and the guy was constantly swaying. Additionally his feet were drifting apart, which only got things worse.
