Never wear shoes that are too big. We don't raise our feet very high and if you have a shoe longer than your toe it will catch on the ground, floor, toothpick or whatever. The other answers were very good especially the Big Physical therapy. I went to one called Big and Loud. It worked on physical, speech and swallowing. It was great.Step Big learn how to speak founder. Throat exercises.

This was one of my first symptoms I was falling or tripping and had to stop and make sure I was picking my foot up for curbs stairs etc I ended up being prescribed afo ankle foot orthotics and they were a big help!! Good luck

I had bunion surgery on my left foot. There is a numb spot on my big toe, but I don't drop either foot and I take 10 Cabidopa-Levodopa a day. I do walk like I am drunk though. Weaving back and forth. You wouldn't want to walk behind me. You would not know when it would be safe to pass.

I find when it started happening to me how important it was for me to actually think with each step where I'm placing my foot and to practice walking a couple times a day in the neighborhood the more I walk the better I do even though it sucks hope that helps much love Dave😎
