Just out of curiosity, why do Michael and Victoria 4 stand on their toes in zer pose?

Don't tell anyone, but they're very insecure about their height...

For the most part, it makes posing shoe props much easier, especially on Victoria.

IMO it was a really bad idea for M4, although I can see it on V4 since 99% of the pics using her have her in 6 inch fetish heels.  M4, I think it was just a bit of laziness.

For myself, I've always preferred to pose my females either barefoot, or in running shoes, or in sandals, -the footwear I'm used yo seeing on women's feet here in Israel.

It has nothing to do with high heels, actually it has to do with how poser joints bend, if you start zeroed with the foot flat than you end up getting a nasty bulge in the front of the foot whenever you bend the foot down (the same thing that causes the bowling ball shoulders in a lot of figures). but if you start with the base position bent downward somewhat you get a much nicer shape when stretching the foot out and when its flat on the ground, best of both worlds. there are some who say that they will never want to stretch male figures feet out so why bother, well what about jumping poses when you fully extend the foot on takeoff?

That's a pretty good point, although it doesn't make modeling boots for him any easier (probably the OP's point).

Yeah I hear you there, it does add some complication. though I came up with a solution where I create a new modeling plane aligned to the bottom of the foot and build shoes based on that.

Yes, to model shoes or boots for M4 is a hell because that zero position.

Sort of like Barbie her feet are always in the high heel position one wonders way the even bother making V4's toes posable in the first place.
