  It can be done via custom script - see the Manual's "Footstep sounds" chapter for details.

  In the Footstep Sounds component, uncheck Auto-detect surface? and then add a custom script that hooks into OnRequestFootstepSounds event, which then reads the current tile's data.

  What data exactly you read would be down to your need/preference - it may be best to use a custom tile that you can assign such data to. However, the code to extract it would be in a script along these lines:

  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class SurfaceDetectorExample : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      void OnEnable () { EventManager.OnRequestFootstepSounds += OnRequestFootstepSounds; }
      void OnDisable () { EventManager.OnRequestFootstepSounds -= OnRequestFootstepSounds; }
  
      void OnRequestFootstepSounds (FootstepSounds footstepSounds)
      {
          string surfaceName = "Grass"; // For example
          footstepSounds.CurrentSurface = KickStarter.settingsManager.GetSurface (surfaceName);
      }
  
  }
