I've done high heel shoes and boots that conform to more-or-less Vickie's standard feet and fit correctly once she bends her feet down and toes up, but they are a lot of work to fit, you have to use the mysterious "offsets" that hardly anyone even know exists, for one thing. The Nite-Life shoe set I sell is set up like that. However, most Poser girls need more arch in their feet to wear heels anyway, plus their toes pulled in tighter, so you get into where you need feet morphs for that, so while your at it you might as well include at least part of the bend, too. Of course Poser has a problem if you morph the bend, as the joint parameters don't know anything about morphs, and you get into a situation where the toes are far from where they are bending. Anyway, I now do it pretty much as PhilC mentions, I set up injectors for the shin, feet and toe morphs, and have a pose to turn them on and off, and also to change the joint parameters, including setting new centers. For V3 (or any of the newer DAZ figures) it is pretty painless to use. I started out doing the full bend in the morph, then progressed to no bend in the morph, now I do a moderate bend in the morph, correct for about a 3 1/2" heel, sorta full circle. ;-)
