swift-footed
Light on feet
Swift-footed means able to run fast, nimble on one's feet.
The term is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, appearing most often in epic poetry and mythology: swift-footed Achilles, the swift-footed messenger god.
It emphasizes natural speed and agility rather than trained athleticism.
