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. Grasp the difference before ordering and you'll have steered clear of an irritating purchase in one of the simplest ways possible. What Makes a Foot a Standing Foot The basic difference is straightforward. The doll can stand upright without support because standing feet have 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. Key to it all are the bolts; everything else follows from whether they're present. What Non-Standing Feet Can't Do Standing feet are a must for photography and display. Unaided standing means full-length poses without visible supports, and display in a corner, a doorway, or anywhere else that requires her to be upright. Poses and settings aren't possible with non-standing feet in the wide range that standing feet open up, which is the chief reason most photographers specify standing feet when ordering. Structural Failure From Water Damage There's shower use as well, which makes standing feet critical. It's impractical and dangerous to lie her down in a shower, which is why a doll for showering with needs to be able to stand. A wet environment is no difficulty for stability with standing feet, and the metal bolts ensure the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would. Water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure, so this is a real safety consideration. Water Rusts the Metal Skeleton Shower use is the source of a lot of damaged dolls, which makes the point worth expanding. When it gets wet, the foam or filler material inside the ankle of non-standing feet absorbs water. From there the water rusts the metal skeleton inside the leg, taking weeks or months to become apparent and being essentially unfixable once it starts. A doll with non-standing feet shouldn't ever be in the shower: the water will find its way in irrespective of your precautions, no matter how diligent you are. No Hanging Hook or Storage Case Needed Standing feet are also easier to store in some setups. A doll with standing feet can be stored upright in a corner, a wardrobe, or a storage cabinet without needing a hanging hook or a storage case. Without room for a hanging setup, this is a space-efficient option, and for anyone who wants to display the doll rather than keep her hidden it's a decent one. Some buyers prefer the apparent, accessible storage that the standing feet make possible. A Few Percent More Expensive The downside of standing feet is that they're somewhat more pricey and slightly heavier. Why the premium? The metal bolts add a small quantity of weight to the doll, manufacturing is more involved, and the price ordinarily ends up a few percent higher than a doll with non-standing feet. The extra cost is typically worth it and the difference is small, but an extremely tight budget makes it worth knowing about. Solving the Visible Bolt Problem The other downside is that the bolts can become evident if the feet are bare. Distracting to some buyers is the possibility that the bolts are apparent in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear. Because this small aesthetic issue can be solved by covering the feet with closed shoes or opting for footwear that hides the bolts, it's not a reason to avoid standing feet totally. A Doll for the Bed or Sofa Non-standing feet are cheaper and lighter, and they're fine for purchasers who only want to use the doll in bed and don't plan to display her standing or shower with her. For a doll who'll largely be on a bed or sofa, perfectly sufficient non-standing feet free up cash for other upgrades, such as articulated hands or a better wig. If you know what you want, this is a completely valid choice. The Tactile Side of Non-Standing Feet There's a slight softness and flexibility to non-standing feet that 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 usually 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. Don't Test the Limits The huge risk with non-standing feet: purchasers forget what kind of feet they have and attempt to stand the doll regardless. Why is this usual error so damaging? The foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight, and it'll tear or collapse. The result: the feet are permanently damaged, and the doll can no longer stand even if you attempt to support her. Keep in mind that non-standing feet are non-standing, if that's what you're purchasing, and don't be tempted to test their limits. Decide Before You Order Can standing feet be retrofitted to a doll that doesn't have them? That's a question too. The answer, in short, is no, not readily. The bolts are embedded in the soles during manufacturing, and adding them subsequently needs cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is costly and regularly doesn't work as well as the original. If you might want standing feet later, and you're considering a doll without them, acquiring a doll with standing feet in the first place beats trying to add them later. Worth the Small Extra Cost There's direct useful advice for buyers picking between standing and non-standing feet. Should you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use her in the shower, standing feet are what you need. If it's only bed or sofa use you're after, and display is of no concern, non-standing feet are perfectly acceptable. Standing feet make sense if you're not sure: they don't restrict what you can do with the doll, and they're worth the small additional cost. Heavier Dolls Are Harder to Store Another consideration worth mentioning concerns gender. Generally, standing feet advantage male dolls more than female dolls, because male dolls are heavier and more hard to store in any other way. There's no choice but to store a 45kg male doll that can't stand lying down, which puts pressure on the body and needs more space. With standing feet, male dolls can be stored upright, a real benefit for buyers who don't have a lot of room. Industrial-Looking Soles on Delicate Dolls Standing and non-standing feet differ aesthetically, which is worth a final note. Noticeable when the doll is barefoot can be the slight hardness at the bottom of standing feet, which the bolts cause. The hard soles look somewhat industrial, so some purchasers find this less aesthetically satisfying, especially on dolls with delicate features. Some buyers prefer the softer, more natural look of non-standing feet. A trade-off that matters only when photographing the doll barefoot, this is worth factoring into your decision if barefoot photos are a priority. A Bolt That Falls Out Can Make the Doll Collapse There's also a maintenance angle that's worth considering. The bolts in standing feet need a periodic check to confirm they're secure, because the worst case is a bolt falling out totally and the doll collapsing, with a loose one damaging the foot or ankle on the way there. 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. The issue doesn't arise with non-standing feet, which have no hardware to come loose, making them slightly lower-maintenance in the long run. Stability Depends on the Surface On distinct surfaces, the bolts influence how the doll stands. The bolts grip well on carpet, so the doll is constant. Especially if the floor is silky, the bolts can slip on hard flooring, and the doll may need additional support to stay upright. A small mat or a grippy pad under the feet will prevent sliding on a hard surface, so consider one. 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. More Natural-Looking Without the Bolts Frequently overlooked, there's a final consideration in how standing feet influence the doll's overall proportions. Barefoot photos can look slightly distinct because the bolts add a small amount of length to the foot. Planning to photograph the doll barefoot and caring about specific proportions? This subtle effect, ordinarily invisible in shoes, is worth knowing about. Non-standing feet don't have this effect, because they don't have the bolts, so the feet are marginally shorter and more natural-looking. One of the Simplest Upgrades to Justify Standing feet are worth the extra cost for most customers, which is the bottom line, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower choices that non-standing feet don't. The exception is the buyer who's certain the doll will only be used in bed and won't be displayed or photographed standing. For everyone else, standing feet are the better choice, and they're one of the simplest upgrades to justify.
