one-footed

Standing on one

One-footed describes having or using only one foot.

It can be literal—a one-footed amputee, a one-footed bird—or describe actions performed with a single foot: a one-footed kick, a one-footed landing.

In sports, it often indicates a player's limitation: He's too one-footed to play at the top level.
