The force of gravity down on the boy= 300N

The boy's weight down on the floor= 300N
The floor's reaction force back up on the boy= 300N

His WEIGHT IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED OVER EACH FOOT
What is the net force on the boy?

The net force on the boy is zero.

Based on this analysis, I would expect the boy to not accelerate.
