You can probably set your sound directly in the animation using the Unity Animator, depending how your animation are working.

You can add event markers directly inside your animation and have those fire a "play footstep sound" event. Place the event marker right before your character's foot touches the ground. I have that in a sprite-animation, and it works brilliantly.

Then you can specify elsewhere which kind of ground the character is on, so that you can play different sounds for fx grass and metal.
