you walk slightly different, you have to kinda move your legs apart more. can make you look like an idiot sometime when walking but means you can get more speed to do higher jumps

Make sure you keep your feet pointing forwards, and keep your legs slightly apart. After a while you get used to the way they are and slowly bring your legs back in as you know how close you can get them without actually smashing them together.

hello,
i've found the same problem, had mine around 2 weeks but you do get used to it! i find it worse when running and they catch, it nearly always results in a face plant!

1 of the reasons, i think, that they knock together is the weight of the stilts. It has the effect of making the lower legs 'swing about more'. So as Sprog put it, keep toes pointing foreward ( or put another way the feet parallel to each other)
