Having wings on the feet; winged-footed, as depicted in Classical mythology.
From Latin 'ala' (wing) + 'ped-' (foot). This poetic term describes the iconography of Mercury/Hermes with winged sandals (talaria) in Classical art.
Mercury (Hermes to Greeks) was always shown with 'aliped'—winged feet—symbolizing speed and messages traveling fast, which is why 'mercurial' means quick-thinking and even why Mercury became the god of commerce.
