straight feet "Feet" here means limbs. These appear to have been two in number, though this is not expressly stated. The foot itself was round, or as much so as that of a calf. The word "straight" applied to the limbs means strictly "even," i.e. probably without protuberance or knot such as a knee-joint would be. The living creature did not need to turn, and its leg was without joints.

they sparkled … burnished brass that is, the limbs of the creature, not the living creature itself, Daniel 10:6, "his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass" (Revelation 1:15). "Colour" (lit. eye) is probably "glance" (Ezekiel 1:4).
