Looks like your weight map is not touching the feet.
-Select your geometry and the feet bones(joints) and click the weight tool…is the feet are not colored then thats the problem.
I am using the same system as you and boole really slow everything down…not that bad though.
Again depending on your font you may have a huge number of polys happening from that boole.

Use Thinking Particles. This is straight forward use of them and the linked tutorial is great…you may need to watch the entire series of 5 but they are only a couple minutes each. https://www.3dfluff.com/tv/video/basic_emitter5.mov
