Shoes for seamless male bodies

I could use some tips for locating shoes appropriate for seamless 1/6 male figures.

I own a few seamless male bodies (TBL and Jiaou,) and I've been trying to pick up shoes for them. I goofed recently and ordered a Wild Toys set with shoes and a head that are seemingly incompatible with the bodies I own: hard plastic slip-on shoes rather than solid "pop onto a ball joint" shoes.

I've also come to realize that online listings often don't say anything beyond "compatible with 1/6 bodies," which I'm realizing isn't actually helpful, since there doesn't appear to be a universal standard. Some listings also don't indicate an intended gender for shoes, but I'm assuming that's a factor given sizes are likely to be different.

- Do you have any tips for purchasing shoes that would be compatible with the seamless 1/6 male bodies currently on the market? Anything I should watch out for?

- Are there separately-purchasable feet that would pop onto a seamless body's ball joint but be sized appropriately for slip-over plastic shoes like the ones I bought?

You can get some ideas from the various installments in this thread:

In general, TBLeague male feet are too large for most sixth-scale footwear designed to fit on the actual foot of a figure. If you must use this type of footwear, switch to feet from other companies like World Box, DAM, or ACI. They might fit, especially with some help (heating them up first if the fit is too tight or wrapping some electrical tape on the steel ankle peg or interposing some elastic cord if the fit is too loose). The same goes for shoes intended to fit directly onto the ankle peg.

Usually sixth-scale feet are available from breakdowns (parting out) of existing sets. Look at eBay, Monkey Depot, Toy Anxiety, Black Ops Toys.
