What Does Duck Footed Mean?

Out-toeing, or being duck-footed, is a condition marked by feet that point outward instead of straight ahead.

Is duck footed bad?

Having duck feet certainly isn't fatal, but it can lead to unnecessary wear and tear on the body as well as surgery in extreme cases.

Can you correct out-toeing?

While out-toeing is often normal and will correct on its own, there are some conditions that cause out-toeing that are serious. Out-toeing is much less common than in-toeing and can occur in older children. Out-toeing can also run in families.
