how to conform V4 shoes that fit as a pair to Genesis?

hi
by "loading as a pair" I'm referring to shoes/boots that are not handled separately and both load to a figure at the same time..
have had good results with footwear that are dealt with separately by positioning the genesis feet to fit the footwear that has not been conformed and then applying the "Edit--Rigging--Transfer Rigging (figure space)" trick.
but the problem I've encountered with footwear that load as a pair is that when I try to parent say the left shoe the right shoe will move along with the left shoe if the left leg is moved.
there has to be a way of being able to work around this....how can footwear that load as a pair be separated into individual left and right items that are easily parented to the feet?....could they be saved individually in some type of format and then reintroduced back into the scene?
thanx

Hide (using the little eye in the scene tab) for example left foot toes etc of one pair of shoes, and then load another pair and hide the opposite, hope this make sense.
