I'm a little confused, is this not a compensated forefoot varus, not valgus?

[@aswansonpt]

frances greenleaf upon evaluating this foot type, i found that he had forefoot valgus. meaning his first ray (big toe) was lower than his 5th metatarsal (pinkie toe). So the slant of his forefoot indicated a valgus posture. To accommodate this valgus posture of his forefoot, his hindfoot has to invert (calcaneal varus). Maybe this post will help you www.aaronswansonpt.com/pathomechanics-of-the-foot/I also highly recommend reading this article - Tiberio D. Pathomechanics of Structural Foot Deformities.
