Standing Feet Or Non-Standing Feet? The Differences Explained
Standing feet are one of those features that customers don't think about until they need them, and then they discover the difference is huge. 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. Get to grips with the difference before you order and you've taken one of the simplest steps towards evading an irritating purchase.

Metal Bolts Embedded in the Soles
The difference comes down to something uncomplicated. Metal bolts embedded in the soles of standing feet allow the doll to stand upright without support. Without these bolts, non-standing feet limit the doll to sitting or lying down, and trying to stand her will damage the feet. The key is the bolts, and everything else follows from whether they're there.

A Wider Range of Poses and Settings
For photography and display, standing feet are vital. Anywhere that needs 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 visible supports. It opens up a wide range of poses and settings that aren't possible with non-standing feet, which is why most photographers specify standing feet when ordering.

Stability in a Wet Environment
Standing feet are also essential for shower use. For showering with your doll, standing ability is a requirement; lying her down in a shower is both impractical and dangerous. In a wet environment the standing feet give her stability, while the metal bolts ensure that the feet don't absorb water the way non-standing feet would. A genuine safety consideration is at play here: water absorption in non-standing feet can lead to rust and eventual structural failure.

Basically Unfixable Once It Starts
It's worth expanding on shower use, since it's 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. Rust follows as the water attacks the metal skeleton inside the leg; it takes weeks or months to become evident, but it's essentially unfixable once it starts. Because the water will find its way in anyway of your precautions, a doll with non-standing feet should never be in the shower, no matter how careful you are.

Upright in a Corner, Wardrobe or Cabinet
In some setups, a doll with standing feet is also easier to store. 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. Space-efficient, this suits customers who don't have room for a hanging setup, and it's solid for customers who want to display the doll rather than keep her hidden. The standing feet make it possible to store the doll in a way that's visible and accessible, which some purchasers prefer.

Weight and Price Trade-Offs
Marginally more expensive and a little heavier: that's the disadvantage of standing feet. The metal bolts add a small quantity of weight to the doll, and the manufacturing process is more involved, so the cost is generally a few percent higher than a doll with non-standing feet. If you're buying on a really tight budget, know that the difference is small and it's normally worth the additional cost.

Bolts Showing When the Feet Are Bare
A further downside is the bolts becoming evident if the feet are bare. If the doll wears high-heeled shoes or open-toed footwear, the bolts might be evident in photos, which some buyers find distracting. Avoiding standing feet completely over this would be unnecessary; it's a trivial aesthetic issue that closed shoes, or footwear that conceals the bolts, will solve.

Savings for Articulated Hands or a Better Wig
Buyers who only want to use the doll in bed, and don't plan to display her standing or shower with her, will find non-standing feet fine, as well as cheaper and lighter. Non-standing feet do the job for a bed-or-sofa doll, and what you save can go towards articulated hands, a better wig or comparable upgrades. It's an entirely valid choice if you know what you want.

No Hard Core Inside
Comfort to the touch is another point: non-standing feet are marginally softer and more adaptable, which some customers prefer. The difference is subtle and not usually enough to justify the choice on its own, but it's worth knowing about if you're specifically looking for maximum softness. Less like they have a hard core inside them and more like the rest of the doll is how the feet on non-standing dolls feel.

The Big Risk With Non-Standing Feet
Forgetting what kind of feet they have, buyers try to stand the doll in any case, and that's the huge risk with non-standing feet. This is a common mistake, and it causes real damage, because the foam inside the ankle can't support the doll's weight and will tear or collapse. The result: the feet are permanently damaged, and the doll can no longer stand even if you attempt to support her. When you purchase non-standing feet, remember what they are and don't be tempted to test their limits.

Adding Bolts Afterwards
And what about retrofitting standing feet to a doll that doesn't have them? Short answer: no, not readily. The bolts are embedded in the soles during manufacturing, and adding them subsequently needs cutting into the feet and installing new hardware, which is pricey and often doesn't work as well as the original. Attempting to add standing feet later is worse than purchasing a doll with standing feet in the first place, so if you're considering a doll without them and might want them later, acquire them first.

Useful Advice by Use Case
There's direct practical advice for purchasers opting for between standing and non-standing feet. Standing feet are a must if you plan to photograph the doll, display her standing, or use her in the shower. Only want her in bed or on a sofa, and don't care about display? Non-standing feet are perfectly adequate. Not sure? Choose standing feet: nothing is off the table with them, and the small additional cost is worth paying.

Weight and Storage Together
Gender plays a part too, and it's worth mentioning. Standing feet benefit male dolls more than female dolls in general, as they're heavier and harder to store any other way. Lying down storage is a must for a 45kg male doll that can't stand, and it puts pressure on the body and requires more space. Standing feet give male dolls the ability to store upright, which is a real upside for customers who don't have a lot of room.

The Aesthetic Difference
There's a final note to make on the aesthetic difference between standing and non-standing feet. Visible when the doll is barefoot can be the small hardness at the bottom of standing feet, which the bolts cause. Some customers consider it less aesthetically gratifying, especially with delicate features, because of the a little industrial look of the hard soles. Non-standing feet are softer and more natural-looking, which some buyers 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.

A Quick Routine Check
A maintenance angle is also worth considering. 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. Tighten the bolts with the appropriate tool if they feel loose when you check them every few months by gently twisting. No hardware means nothing to come loose, so non-standing feet don't have this issue and are somewhat lower-maintenance in the long run.

A Small Mat or Grippy Pad
How the doll stands on different surfaces is also impacted by the bolts. On carpet, the doll is constant, the bolts gripping well. On smooth hard flooring in particular, the bolts can slip, and the doll may need extra support to stay upright. Putting a small mat or a grippy pad under the feet is worth considering on a hard surface, as it stops sliding. Non-standing feet escape this issue, since the doll isn't standing in the first place; plan to display a doll with standing feet on a hard floor, though, and it's worth knowing about.

The Final Consideration
Frequently overlooked, there's a final consideration in how standing feet affect the doll's overall proportions. A small amount of length is added to the foot by the bolts, which can a little change the way the doll looks in barefoot photos. This is a subtle effect, and it's ordinarily invisible in shoes, but it's worth knowing about if you're planning to photograph the doll barefoot and you care about specific proportions. Without the bolts, non-standing feet don't have this effect, and the feet are marginally shorter and more natural-looking.

Extra Cost for Extra Options
The additional cost of standing feet is worth it for most purchasers, because they open up posing, display, storage and shower alternatives that non-standing feet don't; that's the bottom line. Buyers 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. For all other purchasers, standing feet are the better choice and among the simplest upgrades to justify. More info at this rosslink.
