The trick to wearing a long skirt with hoops is a staely, deliberate walk.  :o
Walking fast, running or scampering does not work with hoops.  :D

The skirt part doesn't bother me at all unless I'm walking uphill.
It can be a bit of an annoyance then.

Medieval gowns are the reall problem with walking. Imagine walking with a dress 4-8 inches longer than you are.

Amazingly, some of the ladies of court at CoRF walk in a method they look like they are floating. I think the key is many, many tiny steps very quickly as they do move rather quickly. I just can't get my body to take those tiny steps to make myself glide/float.
