One useful note. 'Webbed' almost always sits right before a body-part word — webbed feet, webbed toes, webbed fingers, webbed hands. If you take it away from body parts and say 'a webbed chair', that is a different thing entirely (chairs use webbing — see that word). So keep webbed for feet and hands.
