pigeon toe

Feet angled inward

Pigeon toe is an inward turning of the feet when standing or walking, so the toes point toward each other rather than straight ahead.

Common in young children, it usually corrects itself with age.

As a verb, to pigeon-toe is to walk this way: She pigeon-toed across the room.

Someone who walks this way is pigeon-toed.
