Specifically, I mean the

MakeHuman/v1/data/special_poses/foot

folder.
I am not all that great at MakeHuman just yet, so I would like to know how to use this so I don't have problems using heels on my characters.

Thanks!

Depending on how high heels are done, there might be the need to pose the feet. Let's use http://www.makehumancommunity.org/clothes/universal_low_poly_high_heel_10cm.html as an example. When you import the obj-file directly into Blender it will look like this:
The heel fits the rest pose of the feet. To make the heel look like a heel you need to pose the feet. That's what special poses are for. Let's have a look at the top of the mhclo-file:

The last cited line calls the foot pose.

Thanks so much, but one question still remains:
So where does the .bvh file have to be to work? Currently, I have it applied to the http://www.makehumancommunity.org/clothes/female_halfboots.html clothes file, but when I use it moves the clothes with it.

You put it in your makehuman external data folder on Windows the one in your My Documents folder the path should be makehuman\v1\data\special_poses that last one may not exist so your just make a new folder and name it special_poses the bvh file should be in it's own folder with the same name as it's file name part of how the code finds it if it doesn't work please post about it.

Enjoy the Choice

Thanks yet again, but I have tried that and still hit the same error @loki1950. Any ideas, anyone?

Well, I wrote:

http://www.makehumancommunity.org/clothes/female_halfboots.html is an example for heels, where you don't need a pose. They're meant to replace the lower part of the lower leg as statet in the description:

The high heels section is simply created by deleting the whole feet + part of the leg using the delete-group.

If you want to use these heels, don't use a foot pose.

For all my shoes you don't need a special pose. So-called delete groups are hiding the geometry. A few lines at the end of the .mhclo file tell MakeHuman what to delete on the human and on other clothes.
Do not unmark the "Hide faces under clothes" box in "Geometries/Clothes". Otherwise also the export of mhx2 will not work properly.

If you need your character with and without clothes, you can decide that, when you import it (at least in Blender).

See older discussion: http://www.makehumancommunity.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15224

So, for shoes hiding the feet there is no problem, because the non-posed feet are invisible. Hiding faces is the normal method used by nearly all clothes, the jeans are also hiding the legs ...

Of course, for shoes like the heel sandals I have a problem, because I had to rework part of the foot and to supply the texture of the foot itself ... in this case the posing method might be the better solution.

I know this post is over a year old, but here goes anyway.

I've attached four pics showing the shoes work fine, but the boots don't. I want to import the MH model wearing the boots into Blender to animate, without the toes sticking out. I'm just perplexed as to why it works for shoes and not the boots. Any thoughts? Much appreciated.

Ok, I got it. Under masking in 'operator presets', in Blender, use 'Apply'. This way you won't have any bones sticking out.
