    Hi Pat, my guess is it's probably not because you're lazy. If you haven't suffered an obvious injury that would explain a change in gait from normal 'heel toe' walking, you should call your docs office and let your doc know what's going on.

    Toe walking in young children learning to walk, it's often an early indication of a neurologic disorder. In adults who develop gait changes it can be an indication of injury or a neuro disorder that develops later.

    Abnormal gait or a change in gait may be what's responsible for your 'toe walking'. Although you're not actuall walking on your toes, it appears that walking on the ball of your foot is also referred to as toe walking from what I've read.
