So far.

I guess the thinking is that if you stepped on a stingray, it might think you're a predator/threat.
If you shuffle your feet, the stingray sees you coming and gets out of there....or if you brush up against the edge of it, the stingray might not feel as threatened (compared to getting stepped on out of nowhere).
Disclaimer:
I've always shuffled my feet, and all of the above is just a guess.
