Sex Doll Feet Explained: Standing Feet Vs Non-Standing Feet
Standing feet are one of those features that purchasers don't think about until they need them, and then they discover the difference is enormous. On the spec sheet it looks small, yet it changes what you can do with the doll, how she stores, how she photographs, and even how she wears over time. To stay away from an annoying purchase, grasp the difference before you order; it's one of the simplest ways.

What Makes a Foot a Standing Foot
The difference comes down to something uncomplicated. Embedded in the soles of standing feet, metal bolts let the doll stand upright without support. Without these bolts, non-standing feet limit the doll to sitting or lying down, and attempting to stand her will damage the feet. Key to it all are the bolts; everything else follows from whether they're present.

A Wider Range of Poses and Settings
You need standing feet for photography and display. A doll that stands unaided can be photographed full-length with no visible supports, and displayed in a corner, a doorway, or anywhere else she needs to be upright. With standing feet, a wide range of poses and settings opens up that non-standing feet can't match; it's the principal reason most photographers specify them when ordering.

Water Absorption Leads to Rust
Shower use is another thing for which standing feet are necessary. Want to shower with your doll? She has to be able to stand, since lying her down in a shower is impractical and dangerous. Unlike non-standing feet, standing feet don't absorb water thanks to the metal bolts, and they give her stability in a wet environment. A real safety consideration is at play here: water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure.

Water Rusts the Metal Skeleton
Shower use deserves more detail, being the source of a lot of damaged dolls. Water gets absorbed by the foam or filler material inside the ankle of non-standing feet 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 essentially unfixable. 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.

A Storage Option for Display-Minded Buyers
Standing feet bring easier storage, too, 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. Without room for a hanging setup, this is a space-efficient choice, and for anyone who wants to display the doll rather than keep her hidden it's a solid one. With the standing feet, the doll can be stored clearly and accessibly, which some customers prefer.

Weight and Price Trade-Offs
Their downside is simply being marginally more pricey and slightly heavier. Few percent higher is the normal cost versus a doll with non-standing feet, with the metal bolts adding a small amount of weight and the manufacturing process being more involved. The additional cost is typically worth it and the difference is small, but an extremely tight budget makes it worth knowing about.

Not a Reason to Avoid Standing Feet
The bolts can become apparent if the feet are bare, and that's the other downside. Distracting to some buyers is the possibility that the bolts are evident in photos on a doll with high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear. Because this trivial aesthetic issue can be solved by covering the feet with closed shoes or opting for footwear that conceals the bolts, it's not a reason to steer clear of standing feet totally.

Non-Standing Feet: Cheaper and Lighter
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 acceptable when the doll will chiefly be in a bed or on a sofa. Nothing wrong with this choice for purchasers who know what they want; it's entirely valid.

What Non-Standing Feet Feel Like
A little softer and more elastic, non-standing feet are more comfortable to touch for some buyers. Not generally enough to justify the choice on its own, this subtle difference is worth knowing about if maximum softness is what you're specifically after. 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.

Forgetting What Kind of Feet She Has
Customers forgetting what kind of feet they have and attempting to stand the doll regardless is the large risk with non-standing feet. The foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight. It tears or collapses, and that's genuine damage from a typical mistake. Even if you try to support her, the doll can no longer stand as a result, because the feet have been permanently damaged. Resist the temptation to test the limits of non-standing feet, and remember that they're non-standing, if you're purchasing them.

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. The answer, in short, is no, not easily. Cutting into the feet and installing new hardware is what adding the bolts afterwards requires, which is pricey and often doesn't work as well as the original; the bolts are embedded in the soles during manufacturing. If you might want standing feet later, and you're considering a doll without them, buying a doll with standing feet in the first place beats trying to add them later.

Which Feet Should You Order?
If you're picking between standing and non-standing feet, the functional advice is straightforward. If you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use 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 adequate. Not sure? Opt for standing feet: nothing is off the table with them, and the small extra cost is worth paying.

Upright Storage for Male Dolls
It's worth mentioning a gender consideration too. Male dolls are heavier and harder to store in any other way, so they generally upside from standing feet more than female dolls. 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. Customers who don't have a lot of room get a real advantage from standing feet, which give male dolls the ability to store upright.

Industrial-Looking Soles on Delicate Dolls
Worth a final note is the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet. Slightly harder at the bottom is how standing feet are, because of the bolts, and it can be noticeable when the doll is barefoot. Some buyers find this less aesthetically satisfying, particularly on dolls with delicate features, because the hard soles look slightly industrial. Preferred by some customers, non-standing feet are softer and more natural-looking. 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
It's worth considering the maintenance angle as well. Secure bolts matter: loose ones can damage the foot or the ankle, a bolt that falls out can cause a collapse, and so standing feet need periodic checking. Every few months, give the bolts a mild twist to check them, and tighten them with the appropriate tool if they feel loose. Non-standing feet don't have this issue, because there's no hardware to come loose, which makes them somewhat lower-maintenance in the long run.

A Small Mat or Grippy Pad
How well the doll stands on distinct surfaces depends in part on the bolts. Carpet is where the bolts grip well and the doll is constant. The doll may need additional support to stay upright when the bolts slip on hard flooring, especially a smooth floor. Consider a small mat or a grippy pad beneath her feet if the surface is hard; it prevents 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.

Barefoot Photos and Exact Proportions
Often overlooked, there's a final consideration in how standing feet impact the doll's overall proportions. Adding a small quantity of length to the foot, the bolts can somewhat change the way the doll looks in barefoot photos. You probably 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 exact proportions. Lacking the bolts, non-standing feet avoid this effect and are slightly shorter and more natural-looking.

What Standing Feet Open Up
The bottom line is that most purchasers get their money's worth from standing feet, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower alternatives that non-standing feet don't. Certain the doll will only ever be used in bed, and never displayed or photographed standing? Then skip them. Nobody else should. Everyone else is better off with standing feet, one of the simplest upgrades to justify. More info at this rosslink. Also check out your domain name as well as click for info and next page for more.
