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.......http://www.shoebuy.com/skechers-gowalk/506473/1064406

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!
