Another advantage of digigrade feet is that the werewolf is more swift on its feet, try standing on your toes and running amazinly it works and you run faster =P =D ...watch any human runner NOT trying to do this, and you'll see that they naturally push off from their toes. ;) It's only the heel th...

It will be partial in the sense that the foot retains the same proportions of a wolf's foot while keeping the same thickness of a humans foot as well. However, the heel has to be in the air completely. ...I read this more as "reminiscient of human foot walking on tiptoe" than "full w...
