Actually it is believed that the way one would walk within the SCA period to modern day has changed.  If one considers that there weren't many heels of any kind on shoes and the surfaces we walk on are different, you can begin to percieve the way the differences could occur.   If one is wearing skirts that are near or on the ground then it really is a good thing to slow down as well.  All of this changes the way we walk, how our feet turn and so on.
