Walking with toes pointing out since birth happens for a reason. Post a picture of your legs with toes straight in standing position.

You need to get assessed properly by physiotherapist.. As your gait is like this from childhood muscles have gone into spastic state over a period of years.. Once you will get good stretches and recommended good exs you will be able to walk on your entire foot..
