Save sequences you like to the Pose library, with IK turned OFF. Use IK to position feet nicely on the ground, then switch it off to tweak foot bend/twist/side-side. Use the dials for fine control. Use the orthogonal views when moving body parts in the document window. Use Smooth Lined view to check for intersections. Collision detection is way too slow. Something I just thought up (haven't tested it yet): create two point lights, set their intensity to zero, turn off shadows and animating, parent them to the left and right foot, and name them LFootLight and RFootLight. Name the corresponding shadow cams LFootCam and RFootCam. Position the lights close to the feet. Now you have the equivalent of the Hand cams for the feet.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
