Maya Modeling :: Rigging And Animation - Model Shoes And Socks

I am almost done with my model. He is in a naked state for the sake of making sure the anatomy is correct. I am preparing to rig, texture, and animate him. I plan on modeling the shirt and pants separate and use Maya's nCloth for those. I have also modeled glasses that are a completely separate mesh that will need to follow every movement of the head of my model.

Here is my issue, I am puzzled on how to model my shoes and socks.

1) Should i model them as part of the legs to eliminate further animation?
2) Should I model thee shoes and socks separate from the legs?

way to form a hierarchy where i can model everything individually and then make the main body rig a parent to everything secondary (shoes, socks, glasses, etc...)?
