Get an AFO!: An ankle foot orthosis with a dorsi flexion assist will allow you to walk in any shoes and not trip. See a physiatrist or orthopedist who can prescribe this for you.

AFO: A special brace called an AFO is designed to help with drop foot. This would help you walk without tripping. You can get one by visiting a podiatrist or foot and ankle orthopedist.
