Why don't my feet stick out straight when I walk?

[Scrapster]

I think my knees and feet do not point in the same direction. When I walk my feet stick outward instead of straight. I feel and look like a duck. Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? I've had this problem for as long as I can remember.

1 question... Are you a penguin?

 

[snakesnfrogs]

it's probably better than being pigeon-toed

 

[Scrapster]

No, I'm a wolf.

 

[kamiam]

its because your "bent"

 

[snakesnfrogs]

put your shoes on the wrong feet and see if that helps

 

[shiner]

Hmmm...did you spend any time in prison?

 

[Ronstang]

You probaby have some Orangutan in you.

That's really more of a Michael Jackson thing isn't it?

 

[Scrapster]

No, I did detention once.

 

[kamiam]

did you say someone indented you once?!?!

Usually your legs turn out(or in) at your hips the most, knees and legs aren't as noticable. Try sleeping with your feet pointed toward each other.

when i ran track in high school i was told you were supposed to run with a 15 degree angle for each foot, so like 30 degrees all together. you run faster that way so maybe its natural

When I was a kid I was &quot;pigeon-toed&quot;...I had to walk around w/ a metal bar between my legs/feet for a long time to get it straightened out....wierd memory; I forgot about it until just now.

Ok, a serious reply here.

As long as it doesn't affect your mobility, I'd say being a little &quot;duck footed&quot; is fine.

I don't believe there is any way to &quot;fix&quot; it.

Question: Do your shoes wear out unevenly? My brother has a little of this and his shoes wear out way faster in a concentrated region.

 

[yakko]

At least they both do it and not just one.

 

[HansHurt]

Ok, a serious reply here.


Umm...the metal bar thing was serious...it worked to.

Different people are built different ways. My mom has duck feet, as it seems you do. So does my dad. My sister is pigeoned toed (sp?). Be thankful you don't have this. She kicks herself sometimes, causeing her to trip. I am luckily pretty straight.

 

[b0mbrman]

Oh lord, my feet are the same. My feet go out to the side when I sleep too. Weird no?

 

[WordSmith2000]

You would not happen to be overweight, would you? Most overweight people duck walk. Has to do with the fat thighs.

 

[XCLAN]

e-z answer, turn yer toes inward and after 20 years it may stay that way

I thought most people's were turned out slightly.

Sure beats being pigeon-toed, like me. Although I don't really think it's too noticeable anymore...hopefully...
