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. One of the simplest ways to steer clear of a frustrating purchase is to understand the difference before you order. The Basic Difference Between Standing and Non-Standing Feet Boiled down, the difference is simple. Standing upright without support is possible 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. Whether the bolts are present decides everything else; they're the key. Upright Without Props Standing feet are essential for photography and display. A doll who can stand unaided can be photographed in full-length poses without noticeable supports and displayed in a corner, a doorway, or wherever else she needs to be upright. The principal reason most photographers specify standing feet when ordering is the wide range of poses and settings it opens up that non-standing feet rule out. If You Want to Shower With Your Doll Shower use makes standing feet essential too. Lying her down in a shower is impractical and hazardous, so showering with your doll means she needs to stand. The metal bolts make sure that the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would, and the standing feet give her stability in a wet environment. Rust and eventual structural failure can follow from water absorption in non-standing feet, which makes this a real safety consideration. Weeks or Months Before the Damage Shows Let's expand on shower use, because a lot of damaged dolls start there. With non-standing feet, the foam or filler material inside the ankle soaks up water when it gets wet. Weeks or months pass before the rust the water causes in the metal skeleton inside the leg becomes evident, and it's essentially unfixable once it starts. The water will find its way in anyway of your precautions, so a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower, no matter how cautious you are. Standing Feet Make Storage Easier In some setups, a doll with standing feet is also easier to store. Stored upright in a corner, a wardrobe or a storage cabinet, a doll with standing feet doesn't need a hanging hook or a storage case. This is a space-efficient alternative for buyers who don't have room for a hanging setup, and it's a solid alternative for customers who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden. With the standing feet, the doll can be stored noticeably and accessibly, which some buyers prefer. Metal Bolts Add Weight On the downside, standing feet are somewhat more expensive and somewhat heavier. Few percent higher is the usual cost versus a doll with non-standing feet, with the metal bolts adding a small quantity of weight and the manufacturing process being more involved. The extra cost is typically worth it and the difference is small, but a very tight budget makes it worth knowing about. Not a Reason to Avoid Standing Feet The bolts can show if the feet are bare, which is the other downside. The bolts might be evident in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear, and some purchasers find that distracting. You can solve this small aesthetic issue by covering the feet with closed shoes or opting for footwear that hides the bolts, so don't avoid standing feet totally because of it. When Standing Feet Aren't Needed They're cheaper and lighter, and non-standing feet are fine for buyers who only want to use the doll in bed and don't plan to display her standing or shower with her. Where most of her life will be spent in a bed or on a sofa, non-standing feet are perfectly enough and leave money for upgrades like articulated hands or a better wig. Where buyers know what they want, this is a completely valid choice. Softer, More Flexible Feet More comfortable to touch, for some customers, are non-standing feet, which are somewhat softer and more adaptable. It's worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness, though this is a subtle difference and not ordinarily enough to justify the choice on its own. Non-standing dolls' feet feel like the rest of the doll more than like they have a hard core inside them. Forgetting What Kind of Feet She Has Trying to stand the doll anyway, after forgetting what kind of feet they have, is the sizable risk purchasers run with non-standing feet. This is a common error, and it causes genuine damage, because the foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight and will tear or collapse. Permanently damaged feet are the cause of a doll that can no longer stand even if you attempt to support her. When you acquire non-standing feet, remember what they are and don't be tempted to test their limits. Why Retrofitting Doesn't Work Well A further question is whether a doll that doesn't have standing feet can have them retrofitted. The short answer is that it can't readily be done. Cutting into the feet and installing new hardware is what adding the bolts after that requires, which is expensive and often doesn't work as well as the original; the bolts are embedded in the soles during manufacturing. When you think you might want standing feet later and you're considering a doll without them, it's better to buy a doll with standing feet first than try to add them later. Which Feet Should You Order? For purchasers who are choosing between standing and non-standing feet, the practical advice is straightforward. If any of photographing the doll, displaying her standing, or using her in the shower is on the cards, you need standing feet. For use only in bed or on a sofa, with no care about display, non-standing feet are perfectly enough. If you're not sure, standing feet are the safer alternative, because they don't limit what you can do with the doll and they're worth the small extra cost. Heavier Dolls Are Harder to Store A gender consideration deserves a mention as well. Because male dolls are heavier and more hard to store in any other way, they usually get more from standing feet than female dolls do. 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. Male dolls can store upright with standing feet, which is a real advantage for buyers who don't have a lot of room. Harder Soles Because of the Bolts A last word on the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet is valuable. With the doll barefoot, the somewhat harder bottom of standing feet, down to the bolts, can be visible. On dolls with delicate features in particular, some purchasers find this less aesthetically satisfying, as the hard soles look a little industrial. Some purchasers prefer non-standing feet, which are softer and more natural-looking. For barefoot photos as a priority, factor this trade-off into your decision; otherwise, it only matters if you're photographing the doll barefoot. The Maintenance Angle One more angle worth considering: 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. Use the appropriate 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 marginally lower-maintenance in the long run. Stability Depends on the Surface The bolts also impact how the doll stands on distinct surfaces. The bolts grip well on carpet, so the doll is constant. The doll may need extra support to stay upright on hard flooring, where the bolts can slip, especially if the floor is smooth. Sliding is stopped on a hard surface by a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet, which you should consider. It only concerns standing feet: non-standing feet don't have the issue because the doll isn't standing in the first place, but displaying one on a hard floor makes it worth knowing about. If You Care About Exact Proportions How standing feet influence the doll's overall proportions is a final consideration that's frequently overlooked. Adding a small quantity of length to the foot, the bolts can a little change the way the doll looks in barefoot photos. The effect is subtle and typically invisible in shoes, but it's worth knowing about if you're planning to photograph the doll barefoot and you care about precise proportions. This effect isn't present in non-standing feet, as they don't have the bolts, so the feet are a little shorter and more natural-looking. Final Verdict on Feet The bottom line is that most buyers get their money's worth from standing feet, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower choices that non-standing feet don't. The only customers who should skip them are those who are certain the doll will only be used in bed and won't be displayed or photographed standing. The better choice for everyone else is standing feet, one of the simplest upgrades to justify.
