When I walk, my left leg is straight, but the right foot is at an angle. The right foot is walking at an outwards angle. Has anyone had this issue? If so, how did you fix it?

There are a whole number of ways to fix this sort of thing, assuming it is not due to a medical condition that needs actual surgery to fix.

Talk to a chiropractor, you could also look into Rolfing:

Physical therapist is another person you could ask an opinion of.

I'm not sure what a chiropractor could do to fix that. They work on the back and spine. Duck feet don't have anything to do with the back.

I went to a physical therapist regarding it and Achilles tendonitis. You want to focus on pushing off with the toe during a walk cycle, and slight rotation inward in the thighs and ankles.You will probably have to do band walking to strengthen the glute medius, standing on one leg and probably tons of calf stretches. There are a few hip exercises too which help bring the leg inward more, but I'm not too good at remembering to do them.

What is ROLFing? Its reminds me of acronym ROFL.

Yes.

Go to a highly qualified/renowned podiatrist who specialises in treating athletes. You should be able to get insoles / gait analysis etc done

Whilst youre at it I would also go to a physio who specialises in treating contact/combat/strength athletes and they should be able to throw you some pointers with respect to corrective exercises

It may take a while but youll also probably need to overhaul the way you walk/run, posture (sitting and standing) and purchase new shoes that are compatible with your insoles.

Can you intentionally walk with both feet straight without any discomfort? If so, then it may be as simple as building the habit of walking with both feet straight.

There is some discomfort in the foot and the leg feels weird when I try walking straight. I'm more unbalanced and uncoordinated that way.

Follow the link. It's a sort of fascial tissue realignment therapy.

Are you in Canada or the US?

My first thought is to find a physio, but the trick is finding the right kind of physiotherapist - they are most definitely not all equal.

The U.S. I'm fine with that but its $75 per visit so the doctor better know what he is doing.

Do some homework and find a Physio who specializes in your problems. There are often professional lists online and you can call practises to find out their specialties.
