i walk with my toes pointed in (slightly). : B
my friends think it looks cute and some of them even purposely try to be pigeon toed.
imo it looks like my feet are retarded, especially when you look from behind.

i've been trying to walk normally but whenever i ask my friends if i am improving, they say it still looks the same. D:

do you guys have any ideas as to how i can correct my habit?
i started doing it about a year ago unconciously, is it too late to correct? :C

thanks~
not sure if this is the right forum btw. >_>

Walk on straight lines. D:
Idk. I used to be pigeon-toed.
Now, I'm only pigeon-toed when I sit. They comment on my weird sitting positions. D:
It's embarrassing. DX

u should purposely make ur feet to walk outwards...like \ /

and try to get used to that..but not too outwards cos that will look weird as well.

find a podiatrist.. there might be corrective shoes or lifts or something else for it.

[yi rin]

work your inner thighs alot =)
in ballet, the inner thighs are much stronger than the outer ones, therefore we always turn out.
sometimes too much will make your toes point outward though.

so do some plies or squats with your knees and toes facing outward.

my lil sister had pigeon toes as a baby so my mom would put her right shoe and her left foot and her left shoe on her right foot. it helped, but she still has some pigeon toe as an adult, but not as bad as it could have been!

maybe trying it will help? but i think it will take some time to produce results. best advice would be to see a specialized doctor. i am sure it is a pretty common ailment that probably have some sort cure.

good luck!

damn I have the same problem.
my family says its because i got piggy back rides alot. wth? lol

[souljunkie]

Practice walking at home like this \ / ?
Or walk in a straight line maybe?
A lot of my friends are pigeon toed, I don't think it really matters.

My dad was pigeon-toed until his 20's, but he always practiced walking with his feet pointed outwards (V). So he's not anymore.
My brother was pigeon-toed (slightly) as a baby and that's what my mom did to him too! It worked.
I was born with pigeon-toed feet (slightly, lol, guess it runs in the family) too, and I still slightly am ( my mom never did the shoe thing to me. :/ ). I dance (jazz), which has helped me tremendously. I like to sleep on my stomach, so I always turn my feet out when I go to sleep. That's helped a lot too. I really don't care, but the people in China apparently do, because whenever I visit, a person or two will stare or whisper to someone else about it. But screw them! :]
Good luck! It just takes some concentration when you're walking and some practice!

Aw, I have that too.
But instead its like V.
Gah, I never noticed until my dad pointed it out one summer.
Since we hardly see eachother.
I try walking straight but it just goes back to the V, haha. ):

[x__h a ll e n`]

pigeon toed?
*looks up*
oooh pigeon-toed.
Errrm....yeah try walking like this \ /
I guess...
For some reason, this happens to me only when I sit T_____T
IDK, it feels like I'm stretching my ankles or something so I didn't really care [x

hmm...i usually walk in a straight line..but that's only cuz when i was young, my dad pointed out that i walked like \ /, but ladies should always try to walk in a straight line, so it looks better, so that's how i corrected myself.

some of my friends have pidgeon toes...dunno if they do it on purpose cuz they think it's cute or if they can't help it, but i don't think it should be a problem. if you do wanna fix it thought, try walking like \ / for a while.
