pigeon-toed
Toes pointing in
Pigeon-toed describes feet that point inward when standing or walking, the toes angling toward each other rather than straight ahead.
The condition is common in young children and usually corrects itself: She was pigeon-toed as a toddler but grew out of it.
The opposite is duck-footed or splay-footed.
