The spec sheet gives it a line or less, but it changes what you can do with the doll, how she stores, how she photographs and how she wears over time. Staying away from an irritating purchase is uncomplicated enough if you understand the difference before you order. Everything Follows From the Bolts The core difference is a simple one. The doll can stand upright without support because standing feet have metal bolts embedded in the soles. No bolts in non-standing feet means the doll can only sit or lie down, and trying to stand her will damage the feet. It all hinges on the bolts, with everything else following from whether they're present or not. Full-Length Poses Without Visible Supports Standing feet are what photography and display depend on. Anywhere that requires her to be upright, including a corner or a doorway, can display a doll that can stand unaided, and she can be photographed in full-length poses without apparent supports. 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. Why Showers Demand Standing Feet Showering is another case where standing feet are important. Standing is the only sensible way to shower with your doll, because lying her down in a shower is impractical and dangerous. The feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would, because the metal bolts make sure that, and the standing feet give her stability in a wet environment. Because water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure, this is a real safety consideration. Water Rusts the Metal Skeleton A lot of damaged dolls come from shower use, so the point is worth expanding. The ankle of a non-standing foot contains foam or filler material, which absorbs water when it gets wet. Essentially unfixable once it starts, the rust the water causes in the metal skeleton inside the leg takes weeks or months to become evident. A doll with non-standing feet shouldn't ever be in the shower: the water will find its way in anyway of your precautions, no matter how diligent you are. Standing Storage Explained Easier storage is another thing standing feet offer in some setups. With standing feet she can be stored upright in a corner, a wardrobe or a storage cabinet, without the need for a hanging hook or a storage case. Purchasers who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden will find this a solid option, and it's space-efficient if you don't have room for a hanging setup. Standing feet permit storage that's evident and accessible, something some customers prefer. Really Tight Budgets and Standing Feet The cost you pay for standing feet is that they're slightly more expensive and slightly heavier. Why the premium? The metal bolts add a small quantity of weight to the doll, manufacturing is more involved, and the price normally ends up a few percent higher than a doll with non-standing feet. If you're purchasing on a very tight budget, know that the difference is small and it's usually worth the additional cost. Bolts in Photos The second disadvantage is that bare feet can show the bolts. On a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear, the bolts might be visible in photos, which some purchasers find distracting. This is a minor aesthetic issue, and it can be solved by covering the feet with closed shoes or by opting for footwear that conceals the bolts, so it's not a reason to steer clear of standing feet entirely. Perfectly Adequate for Many Buyers For purchasers who only want to use the doll in bed, with no plans to display her standing or shower with her, non-standing feet are cheaper, lighter and fine. A doll that lives chiefly 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. Buyers who know what they want can make this choice completely validly. Feet That Feel Like the Rest of the Doll Non-standing feet are also somewhat softer and more pliable, which some purchasers find more comfortable to touch. If you're specifically looking for maximum softness it's worth knowing about, even though this is a subtle difference that's not generally enough to justify the choice on its own. Feeling more like the rest of the doll, and less like they have a hard core inside them, are the feet on non-standing dolls. Permanent Damage to the Feet The huge risk? Customers forget what kind of feet they have and attempt to stand the doll in any case. Why is this typical mistake so damaging? The foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight, and it'll tear or collapse. A doll that can no longer stand, even if you try to support her, is the result, because the feet have been permanently damaged. You're acquiring non-standing feet? Remember it, and don't be tempted to test their limits. Why Retrofitting Doesn't Work Well One more question: can a doll that doesn't have standing feet be fitted with them afterwards? The short answer is no, not easily. Manufacturing is when the bolts get embedded in the soles; later, you'd have to cut into the feet and install new hardware, which is costly and frequently doesn't work as well as the original. Considering a doll without standing feet, and think you might want them later? Buy a doll with standing feet in the first place; it's better than trying to add them later. The Safer Option When opting for between standing and non-standing feet, the practical advice is simple. Standing feet are needed if you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use her in the shower. Perfectly adequate are non-standing feet when you only want to use her in bed or on a sofa and you don't care about display. When in doubt, standing feet win, since they leave every choice open and cost only a little more. A Gender Consideration Gender plays a part too, and it's worth mentioning. Because they're heavier and more tricky to store in any other way, male dolls typically benefit from standing feet more than female dolls. A 45kg male doll that can't stand is a doll that has to be stored lying down, which puts pressure on the body and needs more space. Male dolls can store upright with standing feet, which is a genuine upside for buyers who don't have a lot of room. Apparent Hardness at the Bottom A final note is worth making on the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet. Because of the bolts, standing feet are marginally harder at the bottom, which can be evident when the doll is barefoot. Some purchasers find this less aesthetically satisfying, especially on dolls with fragile features, because the hard soles look somewhat industrial. Softer and more natural-looking, non-standing feet are preferred by some customers. Barefoot photos being a priority makes this trade-off worth factoring into your decision, since it only matters if you're photographing the doll barefoot. Check Every Few Months by Gently Twisting Worth considering, too, is a maintenance angle. 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 completely can make the doll collapse. If the bolts feel loose when you gently twist them to check, which you should do every few months, tighten them with the suitable tool. In the long run non-standing feet are slightly lower-maintenance, since there's no hardware to come loose and so no such issue. How the Bolts Behave on Different Surfaces How well the doll stands on distinct surfaces depends in part on the bolts. On carpet, the bolts grip well and 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 silky. On hard surfaces, a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet is worth considering to prevent sliding. 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. Non-Standing Feet Are Slightly Shorter A final, regularly overlooked, consideration is the effect of standing feet on the doll's overall proportions. Slightly changing the way the doll looks in barefoot photos is a possible effect of the small quantity of length the bolts add to the foot. This subtle effect, usually 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. The Bottom Line: Standing Feet Are Worth It At the end of the day, standing feet are worth the additional cost for most buyers, as they open up choices for posing, display, storage and the shower that non-standing feet don't. Nobody should skip them unless they're certain the doll will only be used in bed and won't be displayed or photographed standing. For the rest of buyers, standing feet are the better choice, and rank among the simplest upgrades to justify.
