Standing Feet Vs Non-Standing Feet: What The Difference Means
Nobody gives standing feet a thought until the day they need them, and that's when the gigantic difference becomes obvious. Small on the spec sheet, it still changes what you can do with the doll, how she stores, how she photographs, and even how she wears over time. Get to grips with the difference before you order and you've taken one of the simplest steps towards steering clear of an annoying purchase.
 
Everything Follows From the Bolts
At its most basic, the difference is simple. Standing feet come with metal bolts embedded in the soles, and these permit the doll to stand upright without support. Non-standing feet don't have these bolts, which means the doll can only sit or lie down, and attempting to stand her will damage the feet. Everything else flows from the bolts, which are the key, and whether they're present or not.
 
Corners, Doorways and Anywhere Upright
Photography and display both need standing feet. Unaided standing means full-length poses without noticeable supports, and display in a corner, a doorway, or anywhere else that requires her to be upright. Poses and settings aren't possible with non-standing feet in the wide range that standing feet open up, which is the primary reason most photographers specify standing feet when ordering.
 
Showering and Standing Feet
Shower use is another thing for which standing feet are essential. Showering with your doll requires her to stand; the alternative, lying her down in a shower, is both impractical and risky. Standing feet make her steady in a wet environment, and with the metal bolts the feet don't absorb water as non-standing feet would. Because water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure, this is a real safety consideration.
 
Foam or Filler Inside the Ankle
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. Water rusting the metal skeleton inside the leg takes weeks or months to become visible, yet once it starts it's fundamentally unfixable. However cautious you are, keep a doll with non-standing feet out of the shower, because the water will find its way in anyway of your precautions.
 
When You Lack Room for a Hanging Setup
Standing feet can make storage easier as well, depending on the setup. A corner, a wardrobe or a storage cabinet can hold a doll with standing feet upright, with no need for 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 decent choice. The doll can be stored in a way that's apparent and accessible thanks to the standing feet, and some buyers prefer this.
 
Really Tight Budgets and Standing Feet
The price you pay for standing feet is that they're marginally more expensive and somewhat heavier. Why the premium? The metal bolts add a small amount of weight to the doll, manufacturing is more involved, and the cost normally ends up a few percent higher than a doll with non-standing feet. Ordinarily worth the extra cost, and small, the difference is still worth knowing about on a very tight budget.
 
Solving the Visible Bolt Problem
Noticeable bolts are the other disadvantage, if the feet are bare. On a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear, the bolts might be noticeable in photos, which some buyers find distracting. No reason to stay away from standing feet entirely, since this slight aesthetic issue can be solved with closed shoes or footwear that hides the bolts.
 
Fine for Bed-Only Dolls
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. Articulated hands or a better wig could be paid for with the savings, and non-standing feet are perfectly enough for a doll who mostly lives in a bed or on a sofa. This is a completely valid choice for purchasers who know what they want.
 
Maximum Softness
Non-standing feet are a little softer and more elastic too, and some customers find that 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. The feet on non-standing dolls feel more like the rest of the doll and less like they have a hard core inside them.
 
Remember They're Non-Standing
It's the forgetful purchaser who trips up on non-standing feet, trying to stand the doll anyway; that's the sizable risk. Real damage comes of this widespread oversight, as the foam inside the ankle can't take the doll's weight and will tear or collapse. Even if you attempt to support her, the doll can no longer stand as a result, because the feet have been permanently damaged. Don't be tempted to test their limits if you're purchasing non-standing feet; remember that they're non-standing.
 
Can Standing Feet Be Retrofitted?
There's also the question of whether standing feet can be retrofitted to a doll that doesn't have them. In short, no, not easily. Adding the bolts afterwards requires cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is expensive and frequently doesn't work as well as the original, because they're embedded in the soles during manufacturing. Better than trying to add them later is acquiring a doll with standing feet in the first place, if you're considering a doll without them and think you might want them later.
 
Picking Between Standing and Non-Standing Feet
Deciding between standing and non-standing feet comes with straightforward sensible advice. Should you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use her in the shower, standing feet are what you need. 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 sufficient. If you're on the fence, go with standing feet, the safer alternative, because nothing is ruled out and the small additional cost is worth paying.
 
Room for Storage Is a Real Concern
There's a gender consideration as well that's worth mentioning. Heavier, and more challenging to store in any other way, male dolls ordinarily upside from standing feet more than female dolls. If a 45kg male doll can't stand, he has to be stored lying down, which puts pressure on the body and needs more space. It's a genuine upside for buyers who don't have a lot of room that standing feet let male dolls store upright.
 
What Barefoot Photos Reveal
One final note: the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet. Standing feet are slightly harder at the bottom, because of the bolts, and this can be evident when the doll is barefoot. Some purchasers consider it less aesthetically gratifying, especially with fragile features, because of the slightly industrial look of the hard soles. Some customers prefer the softer, more natural look of non-standing feet. If barefoot photos are a priority, factor this trade-off into your decision; it only matters if you're photographing the doll barefoot.
 
The Maintenance Angle
There's a maintenance angle as well that's worth considering. Why check periodically? A loose bolt can damage the foot or the ankle, and if one falls out completely the doll can 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. Non-standing feet escape this issue because there's no hardware to come loose, which makes them slightly lower-maintenance long term.
 
Carpet Grips Well
How the doll stands on different surfaces is also influenced by the bolts. The bolts grip well on carpet, so the doll is stable. The doll may need extra support to stay upright when the bolts slip on hard flooring, particularly a smooth floor. On hard surfaces, a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet is worth considering to avoid sliding. If you're planning to display a doll with standing feet on a hard floor, know this. Non-standing feet are exempt, as the doll isn't standing in the first place.
 
The Final Consideration
Last of all, and regularly overlooked, is how standing feet influence the doll's overall proportions. Adding a small amount of length to the foot, the bolts can marginally change the way the doll looks in barefoot photos. You in all likelihood won't see it in shoes, as this is a subtle effect, but it's worth knowing about if you plan to photograph the doll barefoot and care about precise proportions. Without the bolts, non-standing feet don't have this effect, and the feet are marginally shorter and more natural-looking.
 
Who Should Skip Standing Feet
Standing feet are worth the additional cost for most purchasers, which is the bottom line, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower alternatives that non-standing feet don't. Customers 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 better for everyone else, and they're among the simplest upgrades to justify.
