   You've surely heard the term, "sure footed."   
   That term is usually applied to mules, donkeys and burros.   
   I presume they are more "sure footed" than other   
   beasts of burden because they don't like to run.   
   They're walkers, and left to their own devices,   
   slow walkers at that. Especially burros.
