What is the force between shoes and the ground?
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.

What determines the magnitude of the normal force?
The normal force if the force of one object holding up anothe. Ex. a block of wood on the ground. The normal force is the force applied to the wood to prevent it from sinking. In other words, it is the objects weight. W=mg, where W=weight, m=mass, g=force of gravity.
