in-toeing
Toes point inward
In-toeing is a gait pattern where the feet point inward rather than straight ahead when walking, commonly called being pigeon-toed.
Most common in young children, it usually corrects itself with age: The pediatrician said her in-toeing would resolve on its own.
The condition rarely requires treatment unless it persists or causes tripping.
