I've done this before, but the issue I encountered through a simple effe tag approach is that the footsteps appear in a random rotation on the ground. Also, the simple approach uses only one footprint bitmap image, so you would need to have a kind of makeshift weight system with the right foot at 0.5 and the left foot at 0.5.

Investigate the "material effects" tag type (whose tag class is "foot", by the way). So you would use cyborg.material_effects and for the specific material you want, assign an effe that is tailored to display decal tags appropriately. You will need to do some serious finagling to get it to work like I said. The vehicle material effects tag for the snow material is an example that uses a single image to leave a repeating track print on snow material senv shader types
