Standing Vs Non-Standing Feet Explained Think of standing feet as a feature nobody thinks about until they need it, when the difference proves massive. Everything from what you can do with the doll to how she stores, photographs and wears over time shifts because of this small detail on the spec sheet. If you comprehend the difference before you order, you've stayed away from a frustrating purchase in one of the simplest ways there is. Bolts or No Bolts The core difference is a straightforward one. Standing feet come with metal bolts embedded in the soles, and these permit the doll to stand upright without support. 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 allow sitting or lying down. Key to it all are the bolts; everything else follows from whether they're present. Full-Length Poses Without Visible Supports Standing feet are what photography and display depend on. A doll that can stand unaided can be photographed in full-length poses without apparent supports, and can be displayed in a corner, a doorway, or anywhere else that needs her to be upright. That's the main reason most photographers specify standing feet when ordering: it opens up a wide range of poses and settings that non-standing feet can't manage. Metal Bolts Keep Water Out of the Feet Standing feet are crucial for the shower as well. A shower with your doll only works if she can stand, as lying her down in one is both impractical and hazardous. 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. This is a genuine safety consideration, because water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure. Foam or Filler Inside the Ankle Worth expanding is the shower use point, as it's the source of a lot of damaged dolls. With non-standing feet, the foam or filler material inside the ankle soaks up water when it gets wet. The metal skeleton inside the leg is then rusted by the water, which takes weeks or months to become visible but is fundamentally unfixable once it starts. Cautious or not, a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower; the water will find its way in whatever precautions you take. Storing Her Standing Up In some setups, standing feet also make storage easier. No hanging hook or storage case is needed to store a doll with standing feet upright in a corner, a wardrobe, or a storage cabinet. Display rather than concealing her away is something this suits well, and it's space-efficient for buyers who don't have room for a hanging setup. With the standing feet, the doll can be stored clearly and accessibly, which some buyers prefer. Is the Premium Worth Paying? Standing feet cost marginally more and weigh a little more, and that's the disadvantage. You'll usually pay a few percent more than for non-standing feet, because the metal bolts add a small amount of weight and manufacturing is more involved. It's worth knowing about if you're buying on a very tight budget, though the difference is small and ordinarily worth the extra cost. Bolts Showing When the Feet Are Bare The other downside is that the bolts can become noticeable if the feet are bare. Some purchasers are distracted when the bolts are noticeable in photos of a doll in high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear. You can solve this trivial aesthetic issue by covering the feet with closed shoes or selecting footwear that conceals the bolts, so don't stay away from standing feet entirely because of it. A Doll for the Bed or Sofa Cheaper and lighter, non-standing feet do the job for anyone who only wants to use the doll in bed and doesn'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 acceptable and leave money for upgrades like articulated hands or a better wig. This is a completely valid choice for purchasers who know what they want. The Tactile Side of Non-Standing Feet Non-standing feet are also slightly softer and more elastic, which some buyers find more comfortable to touch. 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. 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. Remember They're Non-Standing It's the forgetful buyer who trips up on non-standing feet, attempting to stand the doll regardless; that's the huge risk. Why is this common mistake so damaging? The foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight, and it'll tear or collapse. You end up with a doll that can no longer stand even with your support, since the feet have been permanently damaged. If you're acquiring non-standing feet, remember that they're non-standing, and don't be tempted to test their limits. Decide Before You Order Then there's the question of whether standing feet can be retrofitted to a doll without them. The short answer is a no, not easily. During manufacturing the bolts are embedded in the soles; doing it after that means cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is expensive and frequently 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. A Simple Decision Guide For purchasers who are picking between standing and non-standing feet, the sensible advice is direct. You need standing feet if you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use her in the shower. Non-standing feet are perfectly sufficient if you only want to use her in bed or on a sofa and you don't care about display. The safer pick when you're undecided is standing feet; they limit nothing, and the small extra cost is worth it. A 45kg Male Doll That Can't Stand It's worth mentioning a gender consideration too. Normally, standing feet upside male dolls more than female dolls, because male dolls are heavier and more tricky to store in any other way. 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. It's a real advantage for customers who don't have a lot of room that standing feet let male dolls store upright. A Trade-Off That Matters for Barefoot Photos The aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet deserves a final note. Because of the bolts, standing feet are slightly harder at the bottom, which can be apparent when the doll is barefoot. The look of the hard soles is somewhat industrial, and some buyers find that less aesthetically satisfying, especially on dolls with delicate features. Non-standing feet look softer and more natural, and some purchasers prefer that. For barefoot photos as a priority, factor this trade-off into your decision; otherwise, it only matters if you're photographing the doll barefoot. Bolt Care for Standing Feet Maintenance is another angle that's worth considering. Look over the bolts on standing feet now and again to make sure they're secure; a loose bolt can damage the foot or ankle, and a lost bolt can cause the doll to collapse. Gently twist the bolts every few months to check them, and if they feel loose, tighten them with the fitting tool. There's no hardware to come loose with non-standing feet, so they don't have this issue and are slightly lower-maintenance in the long run. Silky Floors Need Extra Support The bolts have an effect, too, on how the doll stands on different surfaces. Stable on carpet, the doll advantages from bolts that grip well. Especially if the floor is smooth, the bolts can slip on hard flooring, and the doll may need additional support to stay upright. Think about a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet when she's on a hard surface, as it avoids sliding. Standing feet on a hard floor is the case to know about here, since non-standing feet don't have this issue, the doll not standing in the first place. Non-Standing Feet Are Slightly Shorter Last of all, and frequently overlooked, is 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 amount of length the bolts add to the foot. Typically invisible in shoes, this subtle effect is worth knowing about if you're planning to photograph the doll barefoot and you care about specific proportions. No bolts means no such effect with non-standing feet, whose feet are somewhat shorter and more natural-looking. The Bottom Line: Standing Feet Are Worth It The extra cost of standing feet is worth it for most customers, 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. Anyone else should go for standing feet, the better choice and one of the simplest upgrades to justify. More info at this rosslink. Also check out web for more.
