Watch where you are going, or go where you are watching…
Walk with an idea, of your abilities.
For example. I have huge feet. So. I am careful, when walking down stairs. I walk kind of sideways. It maximizes the surface area, I’m walking on.
Toes, are vital for balance control. So. If I’m walking down stairs, and only my heels are really making contact, I change my approach, to make sure my toes are in direct contact with the surface.
Wearing shoes/footwear, that fit the surface is wise. You want as much grip/friction, as possible.
I tend to choose my footwear, for the surfaces I’m most likely to be walking on. I have multiple pairs of shoes. Some are for walking on slippery surfaces. Some are for walking on loose terrain.
Sometimes, it’s better to go barefoot.
Women, wear a lot of high heels. These shoes, are not good for anything…
Then. There is ankle support.
High tops, or boots, can make a fall less likely, in certain situations.
If you have weak ankles, lace your shoes up tight.
There are a plethora, of different types of feet. A shoe insert, for your type of foot, could do wonders. They will aid your mobility, and even help with back problems.
If you have problems with walking, in general. A cane, can help.
