I see a lot more people with "snowshoe gait" (feet pointed out) than pigeon-toed (feet pointed in).  There MUST be a name for this -- but I can't think of it.

"Bowlegged" refers to the knees being far apart (like a cowboy just out of the saddle) though it often results in having the feet splayed outwards.

"Duck footed"?

What does Slew foot Mean?
A dangerous play where a player comes from behind an opposing skater and trips the player unexpectedly by dragging the skate so the victim falls to the ice and quite often hits his head or lands hard due to the sneaky nature of the crime.

Yep. That's another meaning.
Slew footed can also be spelled slue footed. It's a condition in which the feet turn outward while walking. Sometimes called the duck walk.

It was common when I was a kid (although duck walk was more common). I wasn't sure that I remembered it correctly so I looked on Google to verify it. That was the first time I found it was also a sports term.

When I was a kid, oh those many years ago, I remember hearing about -- but can't recall ever seeing -- kids having to wear their shoes on the wrong feet to correct either pigeon toes or duck feet.

Why birds? Well I guess there aren't many other bipedal examples in the animal kingdom.
