How to attach shoes to a character rig?

OK guys, total Maya noob here, so bear with me.

 

I have a rig of a human character. I need to attach her shoes to her model, and ensure that they move with the rigged body. I found that it wasn't as easy as just combining the character's geometry with the shoes' geometry, or parenting it (obviously), and that instead I need to copy weights from the body to the shoes(?). Can someone tell me how to do this, or direct me to a tutorial/video that could help me? Thanks a bunch!

 

Let me know if you need more info.

UPDATE: Solved .. had to bind skin (shoes to ankle/foot skeleton), then copy skin weights over from the body geometry.
