agree  Marcin Pustkowski: Frank, jak widzisz ja się uczę od Ciebie. Miał racje mike, że to jedna z największych zalet tego forum. A czy w poziomie czy w pionie, to już sam Asker musi zdecydować.

  -> Dziękuję Marcinie. To nie jest naukowe określenie. Dojdziemy do odpowiedzi metodą dialektyczną.
neutral  LilianNekipelov: Not in this context. He is complaining about his feet, after all.

  -> I am not sure what is involved. If one foot is hurting, he may be not be putting his weight on that side, giving him a bent appearance. If not that, then he is not walking in a straight line.

chodzę krzywo
I'm walking on sides/edges of my feet


Explanation:
Gait abnormalities


Considerations
The pattern of how a person walks is called the gait. Different types of walking problems occur without a person's control. Most, but not all, are due to a physical condition.

Some walking abnormalities have been given names:

Propulsive gait -- a stooped, stiff posture with the head and neck bent forward
Scissors gait -- legs flexed slightly at the hips and knees like crouching, with the knees and thighs hitting or crossing in a scissors-like movement
Spastic gait -- a stiff, foot-dragging walk caused by a long muscle contraction on one side
Steppage gait -- foot drop where the foot hangs with the toes pointing down, causing the toes to scrape the ground while walking, requiring someone to lift the leg higher than normal when walking
Waddling gait -- a duck-like walk that may appear in childhood or later in life
