Letter: Ways of walking

Published 25 December 1999

From Marc Winoto

I’m surprised someone didn’t come up with a system of recognising a person’s
gait earlier (4 December, p 18). I am myopic and when my eyesight first became
poor enough to warrant my wearing glasses, I began to notice that without my
glasses on I could still recognise friends from long distances by the way they
walked and how they moved.
