3 Select one of the foot links, and increase the Radial Scale until any parts
of the foot that were sticking out are now following along with the foot
bone.

4 Copy and paste the envelope settings to the other foot, or adjust them
manually.

Fine-tune the ankle area:


1 Click the Link button, then click the calf link on the left leg.

In looking at the pose on frame 10, you can see that parts of the shoe are
affected by the calf link, causing spikes to appear on the shoe. You'll fix
this problem by adjusting the Child Overlap parameter. This value changes
the length of the envelopes in the direction of the child link. In this case,
the foot link is the child of the calf link.

2 In the Envelope Parameters group, decrease the Child Overlap setting
until the calf envelope no longer affects the vertices at the back of the
heel.
