• You find a Unicode character that looks like what you want (there is a "footprints" emoji)

* I haven't found a font in windows with a footprint: ¿is one there, Gimp-compatible? (Gimp balks at 'all icons' fonts)
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.
