It's a small detail on the spec sheet, but it changes what you can do with the doll, how she stores, how she photographs, and even how she wears over time. Knowing the difference before you order is among the simplest ways to dodge an annoying purchase. Why Non-Standing Dolls Can Only Sit or Lie Down The difference comes down to something uncomplicated. What lets the doll stand upright without support is the metal bolts embedded in the soles of standing feet. Sitting or lying down is all a doll with non-standing feet can do, as they don't have these bolts, and attempting to stand her will damage the feet. Present or absent, the bolts are the key, and everything else follows. Display Possibilities With Standing Feet For photography and display, standing feet are vital. Standing unaided, she can be photographed in full-length poses without evident supports, and displayed in a corner, a doorway, or any other spot that needs her to be upright. Most photographers specify standing feet when ordering for this principal reason: it opens up a wide range of poses and settings that aren't possible with non-standing feet. Stability in a Wet Environment Shower use makes standing feet essential too. 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. Stability in a wet environment comes from the standing feet, and the metal bolts ensure that the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would. This is a genuine safety consideration, because water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure. The Source of a Lot of Damaged Dolls Worth expanding is the shower use point, as it's the source of a lot of damaged dolls. When it gets wet, the foam or filler material inside the ankle of non-standing feet absorbs water. Rust follows as the water attacks the metal skeleton inside the leg; it takes weeks or months to become evident, but it's basically unfixable once it starts. The water will find its way in regardless of your precautions, so a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower, no matter how diligent you are. Storing Her Standing Up Standing feet bring easier storage, too, in some setups. You can store a doll with standing feet upright in a corner, a wardrobe or a storage cabinet without a hanging hook or a storage case. Purchasers who don't have room for a hanging setup will find this a space-efficient alternative, and it suits customers who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden. With the standing feet, the doll can be stored clearly and accessibly, which some purchasers prefer. What Standing Feet Cost A drawback of standing feet: they're somewhat more costly and a little heavier. You'll ordinarily 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. The difference is small, typically worth the extra cost, and worth knowing about if you're acquiring on a really tight budget. Bolts in Photos The second drawback is that bare feet can show the bolts. Some customers find it distracting that the bolts might be noticeable in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear. No reason to avoid standing feet entirely, since this slight aesthetic issue can be solved with closed shoes or footwear that hides the bolts. The Case for Non-Standing Feet Non-standing feet are cheaper, lighter, and perfectly fine if the doll will only be used in bed and not displayed standing or taken in the shower. Spending most of her life in a bed or on a sofa? Non-standing feet are perfectly sufficient, and the savings can go on upgrades such as articulated hands or a better wig. For purchasers who know what they want, this is a totally valid choice. Feet That Feel Like the Rest of the Doll Also, non-standing feet are a little softer and more elastic, something some purchasers find more comfortable to touch. Subtle as it is, and not generally enough to justify the choice on its own, the difference is worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness. On non-standing dolls the feet feel more like the rest of the doll, not like they have a hard core inside them. Foam in the Ankle Can't Take the Weight Forgetting what kind of feet they have, buyers attempt to stand the doll regardless, and that's the sizable risk with non-standing feet. Tear or collapse is what the foam inside the ankle does under the doll's weight, which is why this usual mistake causes genuine damage. The feet have been permanently damaged, so the doll can no longer stand even if you attempt to support her. When you buy non-standing feet, remember what they are and don't be tempted to test their limits. The Short Answer Is No There's also the question of whether standing feet can be retrofitted to a doll that doesn't have them. Not easily; that's the short answer. Cutting into the feet and installing new hardware is what adding the bolts after that needs, which is expensive and often doesn't work as well as the original; the bolts are embedded in the soles during manufacturing. Better than trying to add them later is purchasing a doll with standing feet in the first place, if you're considering a doll without them and think you might want them later. A Simple Decision Guide The practical advice on selecting between standing and non-standing feet is uncomplicated. Standing feet are a must if you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use her in the shower. When you only want to use her in bed or on a sofa, and display doesn't matter to you, non-standing feet are perfectly acceptable. The safer choose when you're undecided is standing feet; they limit nothing, and the small extra cost is worth it. Upright Storage for Male Dolls Worth mentioning, too, is a gender consideration. More than female dolls, male dolls typically benefit from standing feet, being heavier and more difficult to store in any other way. More space and pressure on the body are what a 45kg male doll that can't stand costs you, as he has to be stored lying down. For buyers who don't have a lot of room, standing feet give male dolls the ability to store upright, which is a genuine upside. Weighing Looks Against Function Finally, the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet is worth noting. The bottom of standing feet is slightly harder because of the bolts, something that can be apparent when the doll is barefoot. The look of the hard soles is somewhat industrial, and some customers find that less aesthetically gratifying, particularly on dolls with delicate features. Softer and more natural-looking, non-standing feet are preferred by some customers. 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. A Loose Bolt Can Damage the Foot or Ankle One more angle worth considering: maintenance. 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. Use the appropriate tool to tighten any bolts that feel loose when you check them by gently twisting them every few months. Because non-standing feet have no hardware to come loose, they don't have this issue, and they're somewhat lower-maintenance in the long run. A Small Mat or Grippy Pad The bolts also influence how the doll stands on different surfaces. Carpet suits the bolts, which grip well, leaving the doll stable. The doll may need additional support to stay upright when the bolts slip on hard flooring, particularly a smooth floor. To stop sliding on a hard surface, consider a small mat or a grippy pad beneath the feet. 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. If You Care About Exact Proportions Frequently overlooked, there's a final consideration in how standing feet influence the doll's overall proportions. The way the doll looks in barefoot photos can a little change, as the bolts add a small amount of length to the foot. Planning to photograph the doll barefoot and caring about precise proportions? This subtle effect, usually invisible in shoes, is worth knowing about. With non-standing feet there are no bolts, so no such effect, and the feet are slightly shorter and more natural-looking. The Better Choice for Everyone Else Standing feet are worth the additional cost for most buyers, which is the bottom line, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower alternatives that non-standing feet don't. Skipping them is for buyers certain that bed use is all the doll will get, with no standing display or photography. Anyone else should go for standing feet, the better choice and one of the simplest upgrades to justify.
