The Differences Explained Nobody gives standing feet an idea until the day they need them, and that's when the massive difference becomes apparent. Small on the spec sheet, it still changes what you can do with the doll, how she stores, how she photographs, and even how she wears over time. Knowing the difference before you order is among the simplest ways to dodge a frustrating purchase. The Bolts Are the Key The basic difference couldn't be simpler. Without support, a doll with standing feet can stand upright, thanks to the metal bolts embedded in the soles. Damage to the feet is the result of attempting to stand a doll with non-standing feet, which don't have these bolts and so only permit sitting or lying down. The key is the bolts, and everything else follows from whether they're there. Corners, Doorways and Anywhere Upright Standing feet are what photography and display depend on. Unaided standing means full-length poses without apparent supports, and display in a corner, a doorway, or anywhere else that needs her to be upright. This opens up a wide range of poses and settings that aren't possible with non-standing feet, and it's the principal reason most photographers specify standing feet when ordering. A Real Safety Consideration In the shower, too, standing feet are essential. Standing is the only sensible way to shower with your doll, because lying her down in a shower is impractical and dangerous. In a wet environment the standing feet give her stability, while the metal bolts ensure that the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would. Because water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure, this is a real safety consideration. Foam or Filler Inside the Ankle The shower use point is worth expanding, because it's the source of a lot of damaged dolls. Water gets absorbed by the foam or filler material inside the ankle of non-standing feet when it gets wet. After that, water rusts the metal skeleton inside the leg; you won't see it for weeks or months, and it's essentially unfixable once it starts. No matter how diligent you are, a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower; water finds its way in regardless of precautions. Space-Efficient Storage Standing feet are also easier to store in some setups. Upright storage in a corner, a wardrobe, or a storage cabinet is possible for a doll with standing feet, and no hanging hook or storage case is needed. For customers who don't have room for a hanging setup this is space-efficient, and for those who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden it's a great option. Some buyers prefer that the standing feet make it possible to store the doll in a way that's visible and accessible. The Disadvantage: Somewhat Pricier and Heavier A drawback of standing feet: they're a little more expensive and somewhat heavier. Why the premium? The metal bolts add a small quantity of weight to the doll, manufacturing is more involved, and the price normally ends up a few percent higher than a doll with non-standing feet. Small as the difference is, and ordinarily worth the extra cost, it's worth knowing about if you're buying on a really tight budget. Not a Reason to Avoid Standing Feet The bolts can show if the feet are bare, which is the other disadvantage. Some customers find it distracting that the bolts might be apparent in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear. Evading standing feet entirely over this would be unnecessary; it's a trivial aesthetic issue that closed shoes, or footwear that conceals the bolts, will solve. Savings for Articulated Hands or a Better Wig If you only want to use the doll in bed and don't plan to display her standing or shower with her, non-standing feet are fine, and cheaper and lighter too. Spending most of her life in a bed or on a sofa? Non-standing feet are perfectly enough, and the savings can go on upgrades such as articulated hands or a better wig. Buyers who know what they want can make this choice entirely validly. Softness as a Selling Point Non-standing feet are somewhat softer and more flexible too, and some purchasers find that more comfortable to touch. A subtle difference, not ordinarily enough to justify the choice on its own, this is still worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness. A hard core inside isn't what you feel in the feet on non-standing dolls; they feel more like the rest of the doll. A Doll That Can No Longer Stand The big risk? Customers forget what kind of feet they have and attempt to stand the doll in any case. The foam inside the ankle will tear or collapse under the doll's weight, since it can't support it, so this typical slip-up causes genuine damage. Because the feet have been permanently damaged, the result is a doll that can no longer stand even if you try to support her. Remember that non-standing feet are non-standing, if you're purchasing them, and don't be tempted to test their limits. If You Might Want Them Later Also worth asking is whether standing feet can be retrofitted to a doll that lacks them. The short answer is a no, not easily. Embedded in the soles during manufacturing, the bolts can only be added after that by cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is costly and often doesn't work as well as the original. When you think you might want standing feet later and you're considering a doll without them, it's better to acquire a doll with standing feet first than try to add them later. Worth the Small Extra Cost There's straightforward practical advice for buyers choosing between standing and non-standing feet. Plans to photograph the doll, display her standing or use her in the shower mean you need standing feet. If it's only bed or sofa use you're after, and display is of no concern, non-standing feet are perfectly enough. Undecided customers are safer with standing feet, which restrict nothing and justify their small additional cost. A 45kg Male Doll That Can't Stand Gender plays a part too, and it's worth mentioning. Heavier, and more challenging to store in any other way, male dolls broadly advantage from standing feet more than female dolls. There's no alternative but to store a 45kg male doll that can't stand lying down, which puts pressure on the body and requires more space. With standing feet, male dolls can be stored upright, a genuine advantage for buyers who don't have a lot of room. Industrial-Looking Soles on Delicate Dolls The aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet deserves a final note. Because of the bolts, standing feet are marginally harder at the bottom, which can be evident when the doll is barefoot. Less aesthetically pleasing, to some customers, is this, especially on dolls with delicate features, as the hard soles look somewhat industrial. Some purchasers prefer non-standing feet, which are softer and more natural-looking. It's worth factoring into your decision if barefoot photos are a priority, as this trade-off only matters if you're photographing the doll barefoot. A Bolt That Falls Out Can Make the Doll Collapse Another angle worth considering is maintenance. Keep an eye on the bolts in standing feet, since a loose bolt can damage the foot or the ankle while a bolt that falls out totally can make the doll collapse. If the bolts feel loose when you gently twist them to check, which you should do every few months, tighten them with the appropriate tool. In the long run non-standing feet are marginally lower-maintenance, since there's no hardware to come loose and so no such issue. How the Bolts Behave on Different Surfaces How the doll stands on different surfaces is also impacted by the bolts. Grip is good on carpet, and the doll is constant. Hard flooring can make the bolts slip, particularly if the floor is smooth, so the doll may need extra support to stay upright. Sliding on a hard surface? A small mat or grippy pad under the feet stops it. If you're planning to display a doll with standing feet on a hard floor, know this. Non-standing feet are exempt, as the doll isn't standing in the first place. The Final Consideration There's one more consideration that's often overlooked: standing feet influence the doll's overall proportions. Bolts mean a small amount of extra length in the foot, which can marginally change how the doll looks in barefoot photos. The effect is subtle and usually invisible in shoes, but it's worth knowing about if you're planning to photograph the doll barefoot and you care about precise proportions. The feet are a little shorter and more natural-looking on non-standing feet, which don't have this effect because they don't have the bolts. Bed-Only Dolls Don't Need Them The additional cost of standing feet is worth it for most purchasers, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower options that non-standing feet don't; that's the bottom line. The exception is the customer who's certain the doll will only be used in bed and won't be displayed or photographed standing. Standing feet are the better choice for everyone else, and one of the simplest upgrades to justify. More info at this rosslink. Also check out go right here for more.
