Note that if you completely change everything about you, a system could detect that something is fishy because it can't match you with anyone. A work-around would then be to instead mimic someone (and make sure that the someone is not being seen by any camera at the same time as you, and that they could realistically be in the same place as you).

Gait recognition fails because your gait changes regularly. Something as simple as a sprain and you move very differently, but even new shoes ends up making a noticeable difference.

  Exactly, just put a pebble in your shoe, in different locations & shoes at different times, and your gait will be wildly different...

I'm not aware of any serious FR or Object Tracking system using gait successfully. It is discredited as useful.
