I do not think those footprints are still visible..
Moondust is prone to static charging by UV ligh from the Sun.
That means the dust particles rise above the surface in weak Moon gravity.. and eventually fall back on (slightly) different place.. this erosion effect is probably very small but it accumulates over the years,
