What do you think about my plans to establish foot pose buttons inside MH? Instead of calling it from inside the mhclo, you now enable a foot pose in the pose library, if the asset requires it. I already made 8,10 and 11cm, and i think i will at least make two other reasonable steps, maybe 3 and 5cm. These are obviously not real world measurements, since even in real world the height changes with shoe size. So 8 means just high, 10 means very high, and 11 is at the border to ridiculousness...
One reason of the missing reaction about the heels is that I just downloaded these assets and poses a few minutes ago to play around with them ... for the last activities of being a ballet dancer, a train driver or triathlete these things might be bit counterproductive, and even playing in a band and jumping up and down may result in some serious problems with these shoes
Well, when I started with my models and had done no heels, I used your "old" peep-toe heels. But as you mentioned, everything higher than 8cm (the original heels I supplied are 8cm) looks weird. The
Achilles tendon works a bit different in reality. This was one reason why I remodelled part of the feet. The other reason is the toe-box, but of course your pose files now take care of the narrow toe-box.
So your idea is a good idea to keep things consistent in MakeHuman. E.g. if you want to use the shoes with toe-nails or stockings. And of course you do not have to copy skin into the diffuse texture of the shoes.
To add a foot-pose is okay (or necessary), but people will ask, why we cannot combine it with e.g. the pose standing03 to put her on a catwalk. So if we are able to combine it, like we can combine expressions with a pose, then it would be perfect. Maybe there is a possibility in future to put a statement in the mhclo file just to load a bvh before, so that the asset directly influences the position and is visible at once. I just have to understand how these things are combined.

If I will do a 5cm heel, I will try it on a pose you have done. In between I should do some work with python. First to reactivate the perspective viewer as a plugin and then changing the material settings when you export from MH to Blender. Until now it is only an idea to do some coding, but starting with MH and Blender approx. 18 months ago also was "only an idea" ...
