Ok, add a script that checks if the run state is enabled if not then disable them
Something like:

if runningState == true then
particles.Enabled = true
else 
particles.Enabled = false

local __PLAYER = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local __HUMANOID = __PLAYER.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

__HUMANOID.Changed:Connect(function(Value)
	if Value == "MoveDirection" then
		if __HUMANOID.MoveDirection.Magnitude <= 0 then
			task.spawn(function()
				for _,v in script.Parent:GetChildren() do -- Change this to where the particles belong.
					if v:IsA("ParticleEmitter") then
						v.Enabled = false
					end
				end
			end)
		end
	end
end)

This effects only the client itself, if you want a server-sided one, you can reply.

Can you try mine? It loops through the entirety of character and disables them.
Edit: I just fixed something, you can repaste it.

like this

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
	if Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then
		Character.LeftFoot.AirPuffParticle.Enabled = true
	else
		Character.LeftFoot.AirPuffParticle.Enabled = false
		print("Disabled")
	end
end)
