What force is applied between your shoes and the ground?

Answer:
When you stand still . . .

The sole of your shoe exerts a downward force equal to your weight against the ground.

The ground exerts an upward force equal to your weight against the sole of your shoe.

The net force where the sole of your shoe meets the ground is zero, which is the reason
that your shoe doesn't accelerate vertically.
