Well I have a whole new problem once I pose her. 

I conformed the boots after resizing them as above.  And this is the result after posing.  I tried to parent instead, but the boots are one figure and you can only parent either to the right or left shin. I tried both and both still give this result.  There is no "Z Trans" for the left shin of the boot and using bend distorts the boot badly.  Trying to make the figure's shin invisible leads to part of the leg above the boot missing, plus the boot placement doesn't look right for the stance.

sigh  I'm beginning to wonder if I should just leave her barefoot,  LOL

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
