Stand-up storage in high heels?
Stand-up storage in high heels?
- All the doll's weight goes into the fleshy rubber part of the foot instead of being carried directly through the metal frame, into the stand up foot, where very little or no stress is placed on any TPE sections of the foot, toes, or body.
- The toes squeeze out the front like fish eyes.
- Much loss of stability and chance of falling over.
I was hoping to have Nikki stand permanently leaning up against the wall, wearing the high heels, but this would appear to damage her toes and feet and risk her falling over. Would rather not put the heels on only for sitting poses and photo shoots.
Is there any remedy for this?

My WM160 and WM141 can stand on high heels very well, but i wouldn't recommend it for a long time. Risk is to high
See it as a special moment, like in real life. Otherwise it's getting boring after a time and could damage your doll

Do you have the problem of toes squeezing out the front of open-toed shoes when she stands?

Heels are for display, photo and sex only - only for short amounts of time, and you need to be ultra careful with the posing or the doll will fall over or break an ankle.

Re: Stand-up storage in high heels?
Size 4 fits best, but is rarely to get. So 5-5,5 are most of my shoes (over 30pairs)
If they don't fit, use some socks like mandos said and cut them off at the front and where the foot is visible. You can also glue some cotton in the shoes to make it tighter.
The toes can get squeezed somewhat, but that's ok.
All that depends a bit on the softness ot the TPE.
My standing dolls are more firm, so it's even easier. The higher the heels, the more difficult it could get to stand easily. So, better begin with a lower platform height Is that your shoe, then forget my sock advice! LOL
Nice one!
By the way, Mishka uses also sizes 5-5,5

Fits great everywhere, but the heel strap is way too big, even at the smallest adjustment of the buckle, so it needs to be padded quite a bit back there.
Also, it's got a weird strap buckle, i.e. you don't use the buckle and hole to attach it, there's hidden "hook" that hooks around the front edge of the buckle.

Absolutely amazing great picture. She looks so gorgeous.
Shoes fit perfectly. That squeezing is what a real girl go through as well.
Love the OR156G/H. Great combination - body/face!

Use a hex bolt driver and make your standing foot bolts longer (particularly the heel). This may damage the shoe insole a bit, but it will provide the support you're looking for. Consider adding a strip of leather between her foot and shoe if you don't want to damage. Replacing the standard foot bolts with larger surface area heads (or washers) may also provide stability.d011user wrote:All the doll's weight goes into the fleshy rubber part of the foot instead of being carried directly through the metal frame
As mandos said, it sounds like your doll may be getting her flesh in the way of the bolt's contact with sole.
I would say add your own hole (I've had to do this on Brie's shoes, as doll's ankles are tiny), but maybe that doesn't work for these shoes. I always look for shoes that can be easily adjusted (for example, real buckles)d011user wrote:Fits great everywhere, but the heel strap is way too big, even at the smallest adjustment of the buckle, so it needs to be padded quite a bit back there.

I don't think storing standing in high heels is a good idea at all. Flat shoes are ok, but risky in heels.
