The most silent footwear for stalking is:
none!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for stalking advice, there's lots of good information, above. In addition to the above:
Use mostly the front of your feet. Step like you are trying to leave no footprints. (Practice doing this in fluffy sand.) Roll your feet, instead of thumping them. Crack any crackly joints before starting. Speak very quietly, kindly, and respectfully to any nearby animals, before you start, so that they stay calm and act naturally. After every step, wait until the natural world around you (birds, bugs, soil, puddles, etc.) fully adjusts to your last step before you take the next.
