A small detail on the spec sheet, sure, but it changes how the doll stores, photographs and wears over time, as well as what you can do with her. To stay away from an annoying purchase, understand the difference before you order; it's one of the simplest ways. What Makes a Foot a Standing Foot It's a straightforward difference at heart. With standing feet, metal bolts are embedded in the soles, letting the doll stand upright without support. If the feet are non-standing, there are no bolts, so the doll can only sit or lie down; stand her and you'll damage the feet. The bolts are the key, and everything else follows from whether they're present or not. Necessary for Photography and Display Photography and display are where standing feet are necessary. Photographed in full-length poses without evident supports, and displayed in a corner, a doorway or anywhere else that needs her upright: that's what a doll that can stand unaided can do. This opens up a wide range of poses and settings that aren't possible with non-standing feet, and it's the main reason most photographers specify standing feet when ordering. Metal Bolts Keep Water Out of the Feet If you want shower use, standing feet are important as well. She needs to stand if the plan is a shower together, because a doll lying down in a shower is impractical and dangerous. The standing feet give her stability in a wet environment, and the metal bolts make sure that the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would. This is a real safety consideration, because water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure. Never Shower a Non-Standing Doll Shower use is the source of a lot of damaged dolls, which makes the point worth expanding. Foam or filler material absorbs water when it gets wet, and non-standing feet have that material inside the ankle. From there the water rusts the metal skeleton inside the leg, taking weeks or months to become apparent and being fundamentally 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 careful you are. Upright in a Corner, Wardrobe or Cabinet Storage is easier with standing feet in some setups. 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. For purchasers who don't have room for a hanging setup this is space-efficient, and for those who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden it's a great alternative. Apparent and accessible storage is made possible by the standing feet, which some customers prefer. What Standing Feet Cost The downside of standing feet is that they're somewhat more costly and slightly heavier. Few percent higher is the normal 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. Buying on a really tight budget? The difference is small and normally worth the extra cost, but it's worth knowing about. Opting for Footwear That Conceals Them If the feet are bare, the bolts can become visible; that's the other drawback. The bolts might be apparent in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear, and some purchasers find that distracting. Avoiding standing feet completely over this would be unnecessary; it's a small aesthetic issue that closed shoes, or footwear that conceals the bolts, will solve. Know What You Want 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 largely 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. This is an entirely valid choice for buyers who know what they want. Softness as a Selling Point There's a slight softness and flexibility to non-standing feet that some buyers find more comfortable to touch. This is a subtle difference, and it's 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. The Big Risk With Non-Standing Feet Non-standing feet carry a sizable risk, which is purchasers forgetting what kind of feet they have and attempting to stand the doll anyway. Why is this typical error so damaging? The foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight, and it'll tear or collapse. Even if you try to support her, the doll can no longer stand as a result, because the feet have been permanently damaged. If you're buying non-standing feet, remember that they're non-standing, and don't be tempted to test their limits. The Short Answer Is No Another question is whether standing feet can be retrofitted to a doll that doesn't have them. Not readily; that's the short answer. The original bolts are embedded in the soles during manufacturing, and a subsequently addition needs cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is expensive and frequently not as decent. Buy a doll with standing feet in the first place, rather than trying to add them later, if you're considering a doll without them and think you might want them later. If You're Not Sure, Choose Standing Buyers choosing between standing and non-standing feet can follow some simple useful advice. For photographing the doll, displaying her standing, or using her in the shower, you need standing feet. Don't care about display and only want to use her in bed or on a sofa? Non-standing feet are perfectly sufficient. 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. Upright Storage for Male Dolls There's also a gender consideration worth mentioning. Because male dolls are heavier and more tricky to store in any other way, they broadly get more from standing feet than female dolls do. Pressure on the body and more space are needed when a 45kg male doll that can't stand has to be stored lying down. Not having a lot of room? Standing feet give male dolls the ability to store upright, and that's a real advantage. Weighing Looks Against Function Standing and non-standing feet differ aesthetically, which is worth a final note. Marginally harder at the bottom is how standing feet are, because of the bolts, and it can be apparent when the doll is barefoot. Less aesthetically pleasing, to some customers, is this, particularly on dolls with fragile features, as the hard soles look marginally industrial. Non-standing feet are softer and more natural-looking, which some customers prefer. 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. Tighten With the Appropriate Tool Consider the maintenance angle too. Standing feet need to be checked periodically to make sure the bolts are secure, because a loose bolt can damage the foot or the ankle, and a bolt that falls out totally can cause the doll to collapse. Check every few months, by gently twisting the bolts, and tighten with the suitable tool whichever feel loose. Non-standing feet don't have this issue, because there's no hardware to come loose, which makes them slightly lower-maintenance in the long run. Standing Feet and Flooring Different surfaces change how the doll stands, thanks to the bolts. Carpet is where the bolts grip well and the doll is constant. Hard flooring can make the bolts slip, especially if the floor is silky, so 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 stops sliding. No issue with non-standing feet, as the doll isn't standing in the first place. Displaying a doll with standing feet on a hard floor is where it's worth knowing about. The Final Consideration There's one more consideration that's often overlooked: standing feet impact 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. This subtle effect, generally invisible in shoes, matters 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 a little shorter and more natural-looking. One of the Simplest Upgrades to Justify Choices for posing, display, storage and the shower are opened up by standing feet, which non-standing feet can't match, making them worth the additional cost for most purchasers. The exception is the buyer who's certain the doll will only be used in bed and won't be displayed or photographed standing. Standing feet are better for everyone else, and they're among the simplest upgrades to justify.
