Shoes trip me up too. I insist on finding out the weight of any shoes I'm thinking of getting. Very few of them are light enough. It's the weight of many shoes that seems to make me trip.
Canes just make things more complicated and they're one more thing to trip over. Or maybe I never learned how to use one the right way.

I have a hard time with shoes, too. I finally found a pair that's light enough for me. Only about 5 ounces! Here's a link.......

I never use my cane anymore. When it was just my gait I had problems with it helped me keep my balance but now that my balance is so bad the cane is more of a hinderance than a help.
I might take it with me into a restaurant but it's only so people won't think I'm drunk!
