Problem is, conformed shoes (or anything else) are difficult to pose separately from the body, especially the rotations. And if they're not conformed, they don't move with the leg or the body as a whole.

I realize rigging shoes may be difficult. But most vendors have figured it out. Some CR2 footwear is a joy to work with. I especially enjoy the ones where both shoes are part of one figure instead of two different figures. It's a skill that must be learned, yes, but I think selling a professional product for money means customers have a right to expect a certain level of expertise.
