splay-footed
Toes pointing outward
Splay-footed describes feet that turn outward rather than pointing straight ahead, or a person who walks this way.
The condition gives a duck-like gait: He walked splay-footed across the room.
The term can be mildly disparaging when applied to people, suggesting awkwardness or ungainliness.
