Quote - The ones I have seen are made conforming in the zeroed pose of the figure , and then have a pose that sets the correct foot position for the FIGURE.  (manually edit the pose to remove all but the foot and toe positioning)

 

That's what I thought, but the problem I'm having is the shoes I modeled are for the Femasu Character - in the zero pose, the toes are spread wide so If I tried to use it in the setup room, the front of the shoe would squish together when the toes are put together and the heel raised. 

 

pakled - cool link! Nice feature I never knew existed. Definitely a good shoe modeling tutorial, but alas, I'm past the modeling phase and ready to conform :) **
