Code:
obj
     clothes
          feet
            var/obj/clothes/feet/right
            var/obj/clothes/feet/left
            Click()
                //var/shirticon="[src.icon]"

                        usr.overlays+=image(l.icon)
                        usr.overlays+=image(r.icon)
                        usr.feet="on"
                        src.suffix="Equipped"
                    else
                        return
                else if(usr.feet=="on"&&src.suffix=="Equipped")
                    if(usr.sex in src.sex)

                        //usr.overlays-=image(src.right)
                        usr.feet="off"
                        src.suffix=null
                    else
                        return
                else
                    usr<<"<font color=red>You can't equip two pieces of the same type of clothing."
            aile
                left=/obj/clothes/feet/aile/l
                right=/obj/clothes/feet/aile/r
                icon='Clothes/Feet/Female/aile/aile.dmi'
                icon_state="item"
                sex=list("Female")
                l
                    icon='Clothes/Feet/Female/aile/left.dmi'
                    pixel_x=-32
                r
                    icon='Clothes/Feet/Female/aile/right.dmi'
                    pixel_x=32


Problem description:

There're no runtime errors, but it displays wrong or doesn't display at all. I've checked the icons and their states are right and everything. Don't mind the "unequip" I'm not really done with that yet. Anyways, is there any way where I can get these to display in their respective places?(left being pixel_x=-32 and right being pixel_x=32)

The feet you are adding have no icons or offsets.

Also I suggest adding the items to the player when adding them, so that you can restore them without any problem, or check if they are equipped by checking the usrs vars.
obj/overlay/feet/left
    icon='feets.dmi'
    icon_state="l"
obj/overlay/feet/right
    icon='feets.dmi'
    icon_state="r"

obj/items/clothes/feets
    icon='feets.dmi'
    Click()
        if(!usr.feets)
            usr.overlays+=/obj/overlay/feet/left
            usr.overlays+=/obj/overlay/feet/right
            usr.feets=src
            usr<< "Feets added"
        else if(usr.feets==src)
            usr.overlays-=/obj/overlay/feet/left
            usr.overlays-=/obj/overlay/feet/right
            usr.feets=null
            usr<< "Feets removed"

They have icons, that's why they show up, but they don't show up correctly. For example, the one that is supposed to be to the left of the character shows up to the right, instead, and the one that is supposed to show up on the right shows to the left. I've checked everything and they're sprited and programmed correctly as far as I know, the left has a -32, and the right has a +32, the icons are made like they should as well. They just show up wrong. The items are added to the player and the suffix="Equipped" shows me the item is equipped.

Note the left and right aren't the items themselves, they are add ons to the main item, which is aile. l and r are part of the aile item.

Based on your mention of the suffix var, I have a guess as to what's wrong. The critical piece of information I believe you left out of both your posts is that the display problem you're referring to happens in statpanels.

When you display an object in a statpanel or grid, overlay offsets are not preserved. This is something we would like to change at some point but it is not a trivial change.

I found out the problem myself actually. I'm not quite sure what you said, Lummox, but the problem was that the icon state "item" was used for the left and right of the "aile" item as well as the aile item itself. I had to use the overlays as objects in the end, and make the icon state for the left and right null. Just figured I'd post my solution in case someone else happened upon it with the same problem.
