We always called it "slew foot" back in the day. (spelling might be wrong.).I'll google it

Toeing In and Toeing Out

This is a common gait problem in young children. Some babies are born with the condition; others first manifest it when they begin walking. Toeing in often occurs with bow legs. The condition becomes problematic if it makes a child trip while walking.

Toeing out (also called slew foot or duck walk) is rarer. A slight outward turn of the feet (at an angle of about ten degrees) is common in children and adults while walking. However, toeing out at an angle exceeding 30 degrees is considered abnormal.

WHAT CAUSES TOEING IN AND TOE

Answer 5

There was a time (WWI, to be exact) when it was supposed to be normal, or even ideal for your toes to point out at a 45 degree angle.  In fact my uncle, in basic training in that era was ordered to learn to walk that way.  He took it so seriously that he tried for the rest of his life.  But what he imagined as 45 degrees was more like 90.  In my childhood, I knew many more people who toed out than toed in, in fact they made fun of my slight pigeon toed stance.  And the story was that a white man could not put on Indian moccasins to disguise his tracks because his toes would point out, whereas an Indians would point in.  Some truth in that, I think, try walking barefoot both ways, and you'll step on fewer sharp stones.  At least that's true for me.  In any event, I've noted that few people toe out anymore, most people's toes point more or less straight ahead.  My theory is that it's the good walking and running shoes we wear now.  My friend was a ballerina in her younger days, and her toes pointed out, she said by training.  Now they're pointed straight ahead, and she doesn't remember anything else.  

By the way, I am knock kneed and pigeon toed.
