shuffling feet

I have been shuffling my feet lately when I am walking, however otherwise I am doing fine. I have had PD since 2005. I take 3 tablets of carbo / levodopa, 25 - 100mg, 3 - 4 times a day, I never take C/L after 5pm and I take Amantadine., 3pm, 5pm &7pm which controls the dyskinesia. I get plenty of exercise, but the feet shuffling is something new, any suggestions?

My mantra: "walking normally is more important than walking quickly". Focus on lifting your knees and otherwise walking correctly, however long it takes to do this. This speed will take care of itself. I often start very slowly, but by the end of the hour I am walking normally.
