The study aims to verify whether the use of a specific footwear providing increased plantar feedback (plantar feedback shoes) could improve gait parameters, postural control and functional performances in people with Parkinson's disease. Specifically, the aims are: * To evaluate the acute effect of plantar feedback shoes, by comparing gait, functional and postural performances in three conditions: neutral shoes, barefoot, and plantar feedback shoes; * To evaluate the effect of four weeks of plantar feedback shoes, on gait, functional and postural performances. Participants will undergo a comprehensive neurological examination, with administration of disease-specific scales (UPDRS III part 3, NFOG-q, LEDD, DASS-21). At each assessment the participants will perform an inertial gait analysis, a static posturography, and will undergo functional capacity assessments (TUG, 2MWT, 5-STST, 10- mFW).
