A wide gait is typical for balance problems. As my neuropathy goes through its ups and downs, my gait changes with it. I definitely have a wide gait at times. And often, I almost fall to the left, with my right foot stepping to left, rather than straight ahead, and losing my balance.

Just last week this happened in public, and I had to sort of explain that, really, "I'm okay, I just have a balance issue." I don't think if the guy thought I was drunk or ill, but I had to say something.

There's nothing wrong with the width of the gait, per se, it's rather a good way of compensating when our sensors are off.
