Valgus of the foot

Could someone with a valgus foot exhibit a normal footprint when taking the wet footprint test? This is apparently due to the person walking/standing on the outer edge of the foot, which also gives the appearance of the subject having seemingly normal longitudinal arches, yet the feet are in a valgus position (i.e. talus is not in a straight line, ankles are protruding and, wen looking from back, "too many toes" can be seen from the side).
Can someone explain this phenomenon?

 

I am confused by your post. What are you using the wet foot print test for? It is not an accurate indicator of foot function. I'm Assuming you are trying to determine if some one is 'over pronated' or 'over supinated' (whatever those terms mean) by using the test? Think about the components of each of those movements, then think about what the wet footprint test is measuring...

It's not a phenomenon. The wet foot print test tells you nothing - there is no evidence to support it.

 

Yes.......
