club-footed
Born with twisted foot
Club-footed describes someone born with a clubfoot—a congenital deformity where the foot is twisted inward or downward.
The term appears in older literature and medical contexts: The club-footed boy walked with a limp.
Figuratively, it can mean clumsy or awkward, though this use is uncommon and potentially offensive.
