About size 6, I think. When I was making Ingenue Vickie (IV) I wanted to give her the nicest feet of any Poser character, I corrected one problem that all the Poser figures I've ever seen have- the toe box is too narrow compaired to the rest of the foot. This sort of becomes apparent when you make shoes based on real life tight fashable shoes, and the feet just don't fit. The toes are too narrow, the rest of the foot is too wide. There also seems to be a problem with the toe area not being "thick" enough, so the top of the toes are too far down in prototype-looking shoes. The other problem is Victoria 3's feet, at least seem to be designed to look correct barefoot, there is a nice randomness on the toes, and how they would meet the bottom of the shoes, great for barefoot, but she had to wear shoes, I had to fix that, took awhile, too. And finally I had to give her tip-toe feet. You can either do flat feet, that you have to pose for heels, or you can do tip-toe feet that you have to pose for flats, I always do 'em the first way. IV's default is for a 4 inch heel though, where most of my other figures and characters are higher, for a 5" or 6" heel. Bacause she is a figure, and that is her real mesh, not a morph I was able to get the feet to bend pretty well, she can wear flats, and go barefoot. Anyway, here is the result, her wearing the free update to the Day-Life Shoe set. I added a "high-heel" morph to the shoes to get them like this, as th edefault is lower, to match her default, and also the toe clevage morph, so people could see the tops of her toes are where they should be. IV already had a "tight shoe" morph just for shoes like this, clever, what? IV says the shoes are very nice, but she wouldn't want to walk a mile in 'em!
