A seatless, multiple-wheel glide-type walker (10) is provided which has a frame (12) equipped with an offset foot plate (18) oriented for placement of a user's foot thereon in order to support substantially the entire weight of the user. The user's free foot can then be used to propel the walker (10) forwardly along a support surface (16). Rearmost outriggers (80, 82) secured to the frame (12) prevent inadvertent rear overturning of the walker (10). In practice, the user stands with one foot on the foot plate (18) and periodically pushes the walker (10) forwardly using the other foot, all while the user maintains a substantially erect position.
