It's all about balance:

Point your feet outward
Legs apart
Walk flat footed
Take shorter steps
Use your arms for balance

Penguins don't wear shoes, but you do! Find a pair that is:

Sturdy
Has good ankle support
Has slip resistant soles

If you have to carry something, use a backpack or bag to keep your hands free
