two-footed

Walking on two

Two-footed describes having or using two feet.

In sports, especially soccer, a two-footed player can use either foot with equal skill: He's completely two-footed, so defenders never know which way he'll go.

A two-footed tackle uses both feet simultaneously—often reckless and penalized.

The term also simply means bipedal: two-footed creatures.
