Meaning of webbed feet Sun Jan 30, 2005 17:09 pm  Meaning of webbed feet
 

Webbed is an adjective that describes a netlike structure. The correct comination is webbed feet.
We use the past participle as an adjective here because it refers to a result - feet that look like a web.
We use the gerund as an adjective when we want to describe a process or something dynamic. Please take a look at these examples:

She is interested (in books, in languages etc.)
She is interesting (she interests others).
