whole-footed
Sole touches ground
Whole-footed describes walking or standing with the entire sole of the foot flat on the ground, rather than on the toes or balls of the feet.
The term appears in descriptions of animal locomotion—bears and humans are whole-footed walkers, while dogs and cats walk on their toes.
It can also describe a deliberate, grounded manner of moving: He came down the stairs whole-footed, each step heavy and sure.
