Standing Vs Non-Standing Feet Explained Until the moment they need them, customers don't think about standing feet; then they find out the difference is vast. What you can do with her, how she stores, how she photographs and how she wears over time: a small spec sheet detail changes all of it. If you comprehend the difference before you order, you've evaded an annoying purchase in one of the simplest ways there is. The Bolts Are the Key There's a simple basic difference. With standing feet, metal bolts are embedded in the soles, letting the doll stand upright without support. Because non-standing feet don't have these bolts, the doll can only sit or lie down; attempting to stand her damages the feet. Having the bolts or not is the key, and everything else follows from that. Upright Without Props Important for photography and display: standing feet. Full-length poses without apparent supports, and display anywhere that requires her to be upright, such as a corner or doorway, are open to a doll that can stand unaided. With standing feet, a wide range of poses and settings opens up that non-standing feet can't match; it's the main reason most photographers specify them when ordering. Showering and Standing Feet There's shower use as well, which makes standing feet critical. Lying her down in a shower is impractical and risky, so showering with your doll means she needs to stand. A wet environment is no complication for stability with standing feet, and the metal bolts ensure the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would. The real safety consideration is that water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure. Water Rusts the Metal Skeleton The shower use point is worth expanding, because it's the source of a lot of damaged dolls. Foam or filler material absorbs water when it gets wet, and non-standing feet have that material inside the ankle. Fundamentally unfixable once it starts, the rust the water causes in the metal skeleton inside the leg takes weeks or months to become apparent. No matter how careful you are, a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower; water finds its way in anyway of precautions. Display Rather Than Hide Storage is easier with standing feet in some setups. A hanging hook or a storage case isn't needed for a doll with standing feet, who can be stored upright in a corner, a wardrobe, or a storage cabinet. Without room for a hanging setup, this is a space-efficient alternative, and for anyone who wants to display the doll rather than keep her hidden it's a solid one. Preferred by some purchasers is the evident and accessible storage that standing feet make possible. Weight and Price Trade-Offs On the disadvantage, standing feet are slightly more pricey and a little heavier. The metal bolts add a small quantity of weight to the doll, and the manufacturing process is more involved, so the price is ordinarily a few percent higher than a doll with non-standing feet. It's worth knowing about if you're acquiring on an extremely tight budget, though the difference is small and ordinarily worth the additional cost. Not a Reason to Avoid Standing Feet Another disadvantage is that the bolts can become noticeable if the feet are bare. In photos, the bolts might show on a doll wearing high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear, and some purchasers find this distracting. Steering clear of standing feet completely over this would be unnecessary; it's a minor aesthetic issue that closed shoes, or footwear that conceals the bolts, will solve. When Standing Feet Aren't Needed Non-standing feet cost less and weigh less, and they suit customers who only want to use the doll in bed and won't 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. Customers who know what they want can make this choice completely validly. Comfortable to Touch Comfort to the touch is another point: non-standing feet are marginally softer and more flexible, which some customers prefer. The difference is subtle and not typically enough to justify the choice on its own, but it's worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness. Feeling more like the rest of the doll, and less like they have a hard core inside them, are the feet on non-standing dolls. Don't Test the Limits Customers occasionally forget what kind of feet they have and try to stand the doll anyway, which is the large risk with non-standing feet. The foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight. It tears or collapses, and that's real damage from a typical oversight. A doll that can no longer stand, even if you try to support her, is the result, because the feet have been permanently damaged. Remember that non-standing feet are non-standing, if you're acquiring them, and don't be tempted to test their limits. Decide Before You Order One more question: can a doll that doesn't have standing feet be fitted with them subsequently? Not readily; that's the short answer. During manufacturing the bolts are embedded in the soles; doing it afterwards means cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is costly and regularly doesn't work as well as the original. You might want them later if you're considering acquiring a doll without standing feet; in that case, it's better to purchase a doll with standing feet in the first place than to try to add them later. Standing Feet Don't Limit What You Can Do Deciding between standing and non-standing feet comes with simple useful advice. Plans to photograph the doll, display her standing or use her in the shower mean you need standing feet. For use only in bed or on a sofa, with no care about display, non-standing feet are perfectly sufficient. Undecided customers are safer with standing feet, which restrict nothing and justify their small additional cost. Why Male Dolls Need Standing Feet More There's also a gender consideration worth mentioning. Generally, standing feet upside male dolls more than female dolls, because male dolls are heavier and more hard to store in any other way. Pressure on the body and more space are needed when a 45kg male doll that can't stand has to be stored lying down. For purchasers who don't have a lot of room, standing feet give male dolls the ability to store upright, which is a genuine upside. Harder Soles Because of the Bolts To finish, the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet is worth noting. The bottom of standing feet is a little harder because of the bolts, something that can be apparent when the doll is barefoot. Some customers consider it less aesthetically gratifying, notably with fragile features, because of the somewhat industrial look of the hard soles. Preferred by some purchasers, non-standing feet are softer and more natural-looking. Only if you're photographing the doll barefoot does this trade-off matter, and it's worth factoring into your decision if barefoot photos are a priority. The Maintenance Angle It's worth considering the maintenance angle as well. Secure bolts matter: loose ones can damage the foot or the ankle, a bolt that falls out can cause a collapse, and so standing feet need periodic checking. Use the fitting tool to tighten any bolts that feel loose when you check them by gently twisting them every few months. No hardware means nothing to come loose, so non-standing feet don't have this issue and are slightly lower-maintenance in the long run. Avoiding Sliding Standing on distinct surfaces is also affected by the bolts. The doll is constant on carpet because the bolts grip well there. Hard flooring can make the bolts slip, particularly if the floor is smooth, so the doll may need additional support to stay upright. On a hard surface, consider using a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet to avoid sliding. A doll with non-standing feet isn't standing in the first place, so the issue doesn't arise; for standing feet on a hard floor, it's worth knowing about. Bolts Add a Little Length to the Foot Last of all, and regularly overlooked, is how standing feet affect the doll's overall proportions. Adding a small amount of length to the foot, the bolts can marginally change the way the doll looks in barefoot photos. This is a subtle effect, and it's usually invisible in shoes, but it's worth knowing about if you're planning to photograph the doll barefoot and you care about exact proportions. This effect isn't present in non-standing feet, as they don't have the bolts, so the feet are slightly shorter and more natural-looking. The Better Choice for Everyone Else The additional cost of standing feet is worth it for most purchasers, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower alternatives that non-standing feet don't; that's the bottom line. Skip them if, and only if, you're certain the doll will only be used in bed and won't be displayed or photographed standing. Everyone else is better off with standing feet, one of the simplest upgrades to justify.
