Isn't it normal for the toes to face ten degrees outward while walking?

YES: The normal angle of gait is between 8 and 15° abduction (angling outward). However, if someone standing in back of you, can see all of your toes to the outsides of your feet, you may be overpronating. If you're having any pain associated with your gait, it is best to have it checked by a training specialist.

Angle of gait: The "normal" angle of gait is 8 to 15 degrees abducted (or outward), so, yes, you are in the normal range.
