slow-footed
Not very quick
Slow-footed means moving without speed or agility.
The term applies literally to someone who walks or runs slowly, but more often appears in sports contexts to describe athletes who lack quickness: The slow-footed defender couldn't keep up with the receiver.
It can suggest clumsiness or delayed reactions as much as actual slowness.
