I mention this for a lot of people call anything that causes a person NOT to walk "normal" as Cerebral Palsy. This is improper, but common. I suspect what people are calling Cerebral Palsy in you, are the results of your club feet NOT Cerebral Palsy. The only sure way is to ask your doctor for an opinion. No one here is qualified to give such an opinion (and neither am I).

Just a comment of what is and is NOT Cerebral Palsy and that if you have it, the long term affect of your club feet would affect you more then any but the most severe Cerebral Palsy. Ask a doctor not a discussion forum.
