Static electricity, the kind generated by shuffling your feet, is typically thousands to tens of thousands of volts but low amperage; it can fry electronics, especially small electronics, but it's not a power source that can be easily sustained in order to charge a battery due to the very low amperage.

If you could regulate the voltage and somehow connect your body to the battery circuit, you could charge your phone, but it would take a ridiculously long time.
