If you mean feet that rest flat on the ground as opposed to on the toes (as seen in dogs) the term you're looking for is plantigrade. Humans, bears and raccoons have plantigrade feet, since they walk on the soles of their feet, wearas dogs and cats are digitigrade because they walk on their toes (digits.)
