Here is a new problem: I made some custom shoes using the correct method on a neutral base character, used the hide body mesh tool, and saved the shoes to the library. When I apply the shoes to a base character they fit correctly.

When I alter the base character with morph sliders, especially sliders that effect the hip width, the shoes no longer fit correctly. The shoes move away from center (see my attached sample). I can, of course, edit the mesh, select the shoes and slide them until they fit correctly, but this should work properly. 

As a follow up, please note that I am not saying that I am modeling the character with the shoes on. I model the character with morph sliders and then apply the saved custom shoes from the library. When I apply the shoes they are misaligned.

After playing around with the morph sliders, I found that it was the hip distance slider that was causing this issue. I had the legs very close together - a more stylized character - and it was obviously too close for CC3 to apply the shoes correctly. By moving the hips (inner leg distance) out just a little, the shoes went back to fitting correctly. Problem solved. 

Thanks for updating the thread and letting everyone know how you solved the problem. I'm sure this will prove very helpful for others experiencing similar issues.
