Someone once asked the late, great Ray Charles how he was able to get about with no cane. His answer was hard-soled shoes. He was able to hear echoes from obstacles, provided he was walking on a hard floor.

My aunt has never used a cane. But watching closely, you will see her hold one finger up to her side, running it along the walls when inside. My cousin (her son) was surprised I had noticed that as it's not terribly noticeable.
