I wonder if there’s a shoe insert one could make that would poison gait analysis. Something in your shoe that gives you a different limp every so often. Lift your heal a little or put a lump under the ball of your foot.

This exists, we call it "gravel"
I can imagine paranoid HN users filling their shoes with gravel to avoid big tech surveillance
"I'm (ow!) sticking it (oh!) to the (ow!) man!"
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
For the more extreme option, lego bricks.
Or the nuclear option, power plugs.
There are (medical) shoe attachments for modifying gait: https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/usf_patents/856/
