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. A frustrating purchase can be steered clear of in one of the simplest ways: grasp the difference before you order. Bolts or No Bolts The basic difference couldn't be simpler. Standing feet have metal bolts embedded in the soles, which allow the doll to stand upright without support. Damage to the feet is the result of trying to stand a doll with non-standing feet, which don't have these bolts and so only allow sitting or lying down. It all hinges on the bolts, with everything else following from whether they're present or not. A Wider Range of Poses and Settings When it comes to photography and display, standing feet are essential. Full-length poses without evident 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 primary reason most photographers specify them when ordering. Structural Failure From Water Damage In the shower, too, standing feet are essential. It's impractical and risky to lie her down in a shower, which is why a doll for showering with needs to be able to stand. The metal bolts ensure that the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would, and the standing feet give her stability in a wet environment. A genuine safety consideration is at play here: water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure. Why Shower Use Destroys So Many Dolls The shower use point needs expanding, since so many damaged dolls are down to it. The ankle of a non-standing foot includes foam or filler material, which absorbs water when it gets wet. The metal skeleton inside the leg is then rusted by the water, which takes weeks or months to become noticeable but is basically unfixable once it starts. Showers and non-standing feet don't mix, no matter how diligent you are, as the water will find its way in regardless of your precautions. When You Lack Room for a Hanging Setup In some setups, standing feet also make storage easier. 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. It's a space-efficient choice for purchasers without room for a hanging setup, and a solid one for purchasers who'd rather display the doll than keep her hidden. The standing feet make it possible to store the doll in a way that's evident and accessible, which some customers prefer. Small Difference, Usually Worth It Standing feet are a little more costly and a little heavier, which is their disadvantage. Slightly more weight comes from the metal bolts, and the more involved manufacturing process pushes the price usually a few percent above a doll with non-standing feet. Though the difference is small and it's generally worth the additional cost, knowing about it matters if you're buying on a very tight budget. Not a Reason to Avoid Standing Feet There's another drawback: the bolts can become visible if the feet are bare. If the doll wears high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear, the bolts might be apparent in photos, which some customers find distracting. Because this small aesthetic issue can be solved by covering the feet with closed shoes or selecting footwear that conceals the bolts, it's not a reason to steer clear of standing feet totally. The Case for Non-Standing Feet If you only want to use the doll in bed and don't plan to display her standing or shower with her, non-standing feet are fine, and cheaper and lighter too. Save on the feet, spend on articulated hands or a better wig; non-standing feet are perfectly sufficient when the doll will largely be in a bed or on a sofa. For customers who know what they want, this is an entirely valid choice. Maximum Softness Non-standing feet are also somewhat softer and more pliable, which some customers find more comfortable to touch. You won't normally pick on this alone, as it's a subtle difference, but it's worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness. Rather than feeling as if they have a hard core inside them, the feet on non-standing dolls feel more like the rest of the doll. A Doll That Can No Longer Stand Forgetting what kind of feet they have, buyers attempt to stand the doll in any case, and that's the huge risk with non-standing feet. A typical slip-up, and a damaging one: the doll's weight is too much for the foam inside the ankle, which will tear or collapse. The result: the feet are permanently damaged, and the doll can no longer stand even if you try to support her. If you're purchasing non-standing feet, remember that they're non-standing, and don't be tempted to test their limits. Why Retrofitting Doesn't Work Well Can standing feet be retrofitted to a doll that doesn't have them? That's a question too. Not readily; that's the short answer. The original bolts are embedded in the soles during manufacturing, and a later addition needs cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is expensive and often not as good. 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. If You're Not Sure, Choose Standing There's straightforward practical advice for purchasers 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. Only want her in bed or on a sofa, and don't care about display? Non-standing feet are perfectly acceptable. For the doubtful, standing feet are the safer choice; they leave you free to do whatever you like with the doll and are worth the small additional cost. A Gender Consideration There's also a gender consideration worth mentioning. Male dolls are heavier and harder to store in any other way, so they typically benefit from standing feet more than female dolls. There's no option but to store a 45kg male doll that can't stand lying down, which puts pressure on the body and requires more space. With standing feet, male dolls can be stored upright, a real advantage for purchasers who don't have a lot of room. A Trade-Off That Matters for Barefoot Photos Ultimately, the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet is worth noting. The bolts make standing feet marginally harder at the bottom, and this can be visible when the doll is barefoot. Hard soles look a little industrial, which some purchasers find less aesthetically gratifying, especially on dolls with delicate features. Some purchasers prefer the softer, more natural look of non-standing feet. It's worth factoring into your decision if barefoot photos are a priority, as this trade-off only matters if you're photographing the doll barefoot. Maintenance: Check the Bolts Periodically Consider the maintenance angle too. Every few months, bolts on standing feet want a once-over, because one that works loose can damage the foot or ankle, and one that drops out altogether can bring the doll down. Check every few months, by gently twisting the bolts, and tighten with the fitting tool whichever feel loose. With no hardware to come loose, non-standing feet stay away from this issue and are a little lower-maintenance in the long run. Stability Depends on the Surface The bolts have an effect, too, on how the doll stands on distinct surfaces. Grip is good on carpet, and the doll is steady. If the floor is hard, and especially silky, the bolts can slip and the doll may need extra support to stay upright. To stop sliding on a hard surface, consider a small mat or a grippy pad beneath the feet. The doll isn't standing in the first place with non-standing feet, so there's no issue there; with standing feet on a hard floor, it's worth knowing about. How Standing Feet Change the Look One final consideration, regularly overlooked, is how standing feet influence the doll's overall proportions. In barefoot photos, the way the doll looks can be somewhat changed by the small quantity of length the bolts add to the foot. The effect is subtle and usually invisible in shoes, but it's worth knowing about if you're planning to photograph the doll barefoot and you care about precise proportions. Non-standing feet don't have this effect, because they don't have the bolts, so the feet are somewhat shorter and more natural-looking. Additional Cost for Extra Options At the end of the day, standing feet are worth the additional cost for most purchasers, as they open up options for posing, display, storage and the shower that non-standing feet don't. Purchasers who are sure the doll will only be used in bed, and won't be displayed or photographed standing, are the only ones who should skip them. Standing feet are the better choice for everyone else, and one of the simplest upgrades to justify.
