Riding along a wall is intended to allow you to concentrate on the
forward-backward balance without having to deal with the steering part,
and to go as slow as you want. First you lean the foot movements, then
you learn to speed them up some. Don't let your feet bang into each
other.
As amanda_and_matt said, use your heels. You have tons of traction in
your heels, which gives you a lot of leg extension with each step.
I can see where the KH noodles will get in the way for wheel walking.
They are more designed for one-footing and gliding. You just have to
learn where your fork is and teach your feet to stay away from there.
This was the same for us in the old days when we rode 20" wheels with
24" forks (all that Miyata made).
And practice. Sit up straight. You don't really have to lean back, as
some people say. That's just what it feels like. Your upper body has to
be far enough back to balance your legs, which will be in front of you.
But viewed from the side, you're pretty much sitting up straight.
