Don't let the spec sheet fool you; this small detail changes what you can do with the doll, how she stores, how she photographs, and how she wears over time. Comprehend the difference before ordering and you'll have evaded an annoying purchase in one of the simplest ways possible. Bolts or No Bolts The core difference is an uncomplicated one. Without support, a doll with standing feet can stand upright, thanks to the metal bolts embedded in the soles. Sitting or lying down is all a doll with non-standing feet can do, as they don't have these bolts, and trying to stand her will damage the feet. Everything else flows from the bolts, which are the key, and whether they're present or not. Important for Photography and Display Standing feet are a must for photography and display. If a doll can stand unaided, full-length poses without apparent supports are possible, as is display in a corner, a doorway or anywhere else that requires her to be upright. Poses and settings in a wide range become possible, which non-standing feet rule out, and most photographers specify standing feet when ordering for precisely that reason. Metal Bolts Keep Water Out of the Feet Showering is another case where standing feet are important. Lying her down in a shower is impractical and unsafe, so showering with your doll means she needs to stand. 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. This is a real safety consideration; water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure. No Precaution Is Enough Let's expand on shower use, because a lot of damaged dolls start there. Non-standing feet include foam or filler material inside the ankle, and wet conditions make that material absorb water. Once it starts, the rusting of the metal skeleton inside the leg by the water is essentially unfixable, though it takes weeks or months to become evident. The water will find its way in regardless of your precautions, so a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower, no matter how diligent you are. Standing Storage Explained Storage is easier with standing feet in some setups. Standing feet let you store the doll upright in a corner, a wardrobe, or a storage cabinet, without a hanging hook or a storage case. Purchasers who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden will find this a decent alternative, and it's space-efficient if you don't have room for a hanging setup. The standing feet make it possible to store the doll in a way that's noticeable and accessible, which some purchasers prefer. A More Involved Manufacturing Process Standing feet cost marginally more and weigh somewhat more, and that's the disadvantage. A few percent extra on the cost is typical compared with a doll with non-standing feet, thanks to a small amount of weight from the metal bolts and a more involved manufacturing process. The additional cost is ordinarily worth it and the difference is small, but an incredibly tight budget makes it worth knowing about. High Heels and Open-Toed Footwear A further disadvantage is the bolts becoming noticeable if the feet are bare. Distracting to some customers is the possibility that the bolts are noticeable in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear. Cover the feet with closed shoes or pick footwear that conceals the bolts and this minor aesthetic issue is solved, so it's not a reason to stay away from standing feet completely. Savings for Articulated Hands or a Better Wig Non-standing feet are cheaper and lighter, and they're fine for customers who only want to use the doll in bed and don't plan to display her standing or shower with her. A doll that lives mostly in a bed or on a sofa gets by perfectly well on non-standing feet, with the savings available for upgrades like articulated hands or a better wig. Nothing wrong with this choice for buyers who know what they want; it's completely valid. Not Enough to Decide on Its Own Non-standing feet are also marginally softer and more adaptable, which some buyers find more comfortable to touch. It's worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness, though this is a subtle difference and not typically enough to justify the choice on its own. The feet of non-standing dolls feel more like the rest of her and less as if there's a hard core inside. A Common and Costly Mistake Purchasers forgetting what kind of feet they have and attempting to stand the doll regardless is the sizable risk with non-standing feet. Why is this typical error so damaging? The foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight, and it'll tear or collapse. Result: permanently damaged feet, and a doll that can no longer stand, even with your support. Don't be tempted to test their limits if you're buying non-standing feet; remember that they're non-standing. Bolts Are Embedded During Manufacturing Can standing feet be retrofitted to a doll that doesn't have them? That's a question too. Briefly: no, and definitely not readily. During manufacturing the bolts are embedded in the soles; doing it afterwards means cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is expensive and regularly doesn't work as well as the original. Considering a doll without standing feet, and think you might want them later? Purchase a doll with standing feet in the first place; it's better than trying to add them later. Photography, Display or Shower: You Need Standing Feet Buyers selecting between standing and non-standing feet can follow some uncomplicated sensible advice. Should you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use her in the shower, standing feet are what you need. Non-standing feet will do perfectly well if you only want to use her in bed or on a sofa and don't care about display. Standing feet are the safe default if you can't decide, as they never limit what you can do with the doll and the small extra cost is worth it. Pressure on the Body When Lying Down A gender consideration deserves a mention as well. Standing feet benefit male dolls more than female dolls in general, as they're heavier and harder to store any other way. Stored lying down, which puts pressure on the body and needs more space, is how a 45kg male doll that can't stand has to be kept. It's a genuine upside for purchasers who don't have a lot of room that standing feet let male dolls store upright. Evident Hardness at the Bottom The aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet is worth a final note. With the doll barefoot, the somewhat harder bottom of standing feet, down to the bolts, can be noticeable. Especially on dolls with fragile features, some buyers find the somewhat industrial look of the hard soles less aesthetically satisfying. The softer and more natural look of non-standing feet is what some buyers prefer. For barefoot photos as a priority, factor this trade-off into your decision; otherwise, it only matters if you're photographing the doll barefoot. A Quick Routine Check Maintenance is another angle that's worth considering. 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 fitting tool. With no hardware to come loose, non-standing feet stay away from this issue and are a little lower-maintenance in the long run. Silky Floors Need Extra Support Another effect of the bolts is on how the doll stands on different surfaces. The doll is stable on carpet because the bolts grip well there. Hard flooring can make the bolts slip, especially if the floor is smooth, so the doll may need additional support to stay upright. On hard surfaces, a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet is worth considering to avoid sliding. 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. A Subtle Effect on Appearance A final consideration is often overlooked: how standing feet impact the doll's overall proportions. A little changing the way the doll looks in barefoot photos is a possible effect of the small quantity of length the bolts add to the foot. Planning to photograph the doll barefoot and caring about exact proportions? This subtle effect, usually invisible in shoes, is worth knowing about. No bolts means no such effect with non-standing feet, whose feet are marginally shorter and more natural-looking. The Bottom Line: Standing Feet Are Worth It Choices for posing, display, storage and the shower are opened up by standing feet, which non-standing feet can't match, making them worth the extra cost for most buyers. Certain the doll will only ever be used in bed, and never displayed or photographed standing? Then skip them. Nobody else should. Everyone else should opt for standing feet, which are the better choice and one of the simplest upgrades to justify.
