The footprints made by astronauts on the moon will stay there for many centuries. There is no erosion on the moon to disturb the footprints.

NOTE: The moon has no weather so there is no erosion from wind, rain, rivers or the sea. There is also no geological activity to disturb the soil, like volcanoes or earthquakes. The effect of the solar wind on soil particles on the moon surface is far too slow to be significant. Meteorite strikes are the only likely sources to erase the footprints. Even a tiny fragment or speck of space rock can wipe out a single footprint.
