What does slow footed mean?

Answer 1

"Slow footed" simply means a person walks in a way that is slower than normal.

Example:

The policeman's slow footed response allowed the robber to flee.

Slow footed is often distinguished from a leisurely pace because there is an expectation that the movement should be faster.

Example:

Despite that the couple was taking a leisurely stroll, Cathy thought Tom's slow footed plodding was as agonizingly frustrating as watching for a blade of grass to grow.

Georgia's slow footed exercise, that she called a leisurely stroll, made her companion three hours late getting home for dinner.
