* indicates a significant difference compared to barefoot when p < 0.05.

Mean joint angles for ankle and midfoot sagittal, frontal and transverse planes and hallux sagittal plan during stance. Positive value indicates dorsiflexion, eversion and abduction; negative values indicate plantarflexion, inversion and adduction.
