adjectives - How would we classify the phrase "worn out?"

How would we classify the phrase "worn out?" I know it can belong to the verb figure of speech, but here I'm interested in the usage where it seems to function as an adjective.



He put on his worn out shoes.



Sorry, I'm a bit confused as to whether I should include a hyphen as well.
I'm guessing that there is some kind of classification for this. I know we have compound nouns, is there a compound adjective or a phrasal adjective?
