Yes, that's why they don't make it every time! Do you really think a waterproof shoe can displace enough water to propel a 150lb body for 20 - 30 feet? They made a great video, but they can't change the laws of physics!
It might be a hoax, I have no clue, but it's an interesting concept. If you compare them to skipping rocks, they may be able to achieve "walking on water". I've been trying to look up what makes a rock skip, but can't find any good resources of why a random spinning rock skips on the water.

Just think about the mass of a flat rock (or even round) in relation to the surface area skipping on the water, and then factor in the velocity of a thrown rock compared to a human running...don't think any of us could outrun a rock, (unless it was thrown by Obama).
