What is out-toeing?

Also known as: duck feet.

Out-toeing is a condition that can occur in children in which the toes point outward rather than straight ahead. In many cases, it doesn’t cause any problems in toddlers and corrects itself as the child grows. Other cases of out-toeing can be tied to more serious conditions and may require medical attention.
