Floating, sliding character animations in Unity

Well, I got the root motion problem fixed, but then I noticed that the character was sliding around and floating.

This can be fixed with the animation import settings:
Root Transform Position(Y)
+ Bake into Pose
Based Upon: Original

Root Transform Position(XZ)
+ Bake into Pose
Based Upon: Original

*I didn't notice much difference in the Based Upon settings

this is from the Unity manual

Root Transform Position (Y)
Bake into Pose	Enable to make vertical root motion be baked into the movement of the bones. Disable to make vertical root motion be stored as root motion.
Based Upon	What the vertical root position is based upon.
- Original	Keeps the vertical position as it is authored in the source file.
- Center of Mass	Keeps the center of mass aligned with root transform position.
- Feet	Keeps the feet aligned with the root transform position.
Offset	Offset to the vertical root position.
Root Transform Position (XZ)
Bake into Pose	Enable to make horizontal root motion be baked into the movement of the bones. Disable to make horizontal root motion be stored as root motion.
Based Upon	What the horizontal root position is based upon.
- Original	Keeps the horizontal position as it is authored in the source file.
- Center of Mass	Keeps the center of mass aligned with the root transform position.
Offset	Offset to the horizontal root position.
