- toe-walking, walking on the balls of the feet

- in-toeing, walking with one or both feet turned inwards

- out-toeing, walking with one or both feet turned out.

I thought that toe walking was called out two decades ago when I was in university - I remember it being mentioned in a psych class. Otherwise, that kind of includes everyone who doesn't walk with feet straight, doesn't it?

Yeah at least a few kindergarten and elementary school teachers were watching out for toe walkers since at least around the mid-90's. Source: I know people.
