I have never lifted my trailing leg behind me when taking a step.
Especially not when going up stairs.
Conclusion: heebie's reading comprehension is deficient.
If you don't lift your back leg up, you'll kick the stair. Avoid kicking the stair.

It's not just walking up the stairs. It's silly-walking up the stairs.
The next step is to prancercise up the stairs.
