Standing Feet Protruding Bolt Heads Ruining Shoes & Hosiery?

Post by Mr Franz »

For now at least, for those of us who want the standing foot option, I guess we're stuck with those damn protruding bolt heads sticking out of the bottom of the feet. I don't mind really, but they can really make a mess of shoes and hosiery.

Couple options out there, bolt caps and such, but I found a pretty cheap solution that seems to work quite well. Regular Shoe Insoles. The kind made by Dr. Scholl's and others. Got mine at the $1 store. Only, instead of putting them in the shoes, I cut them to size and placed them inside my WM125's stockings! (See pics below) Jyoti's been wearing them all week, both with and without shoes and I've moved her around a lot. Not one tear so far. Not even to the insoles!

BTW, the stockings Jyoti's wearing are standard adult size knee-hi's. Make great looking full length nylons on smaller dolls. Just stretch them length-wise, expand the top a bit and voila.

You can also stick washers under the head of the bolt, they act to spread the load a bit more so don't tend to poke holes in stockings or dent shoes. Been doing that with my one gal with standing feet and she also seems quite stable and, I suspect, is less likely to get damage to her feet.

Yeah, I've seen that done. Also saw were someone had replaced the standard bolts with large round head carriage bolts. I was looking for something simple though, that would add an extra layer of protection without having to permanently attach more hardware to the bottom of the foot. 8)

What a cool idea brilliant :thumbs_up: gunna cut some insoles now also tho put ankle socks on her feet before tights and such will give added protection and help stop the tpe moving around and flat trainers are best :)

Mr Anung also recomends the inner sole options trimmed to fit.

Also , you can make your own.

My Anung has made me a lot of inserts using wetsuit material. Very simple to make your own template with 4mm plus material :D

Lilith, I would have thought with the cloven hoofs you walk around on, your insoles would be cut MUCH different. We appreciate you adapting your illustration for us mere mortals.

Jyoti's been wearing hers for over 3 months now. The heel area of the insole is just starting to tear a little bit, but all of her stockings and socks are in perfect condition as is the inside of her shoes. Not bad for a $1 investment! :D

Ohhh! I don't have standy feets, but still like the idea for my VERY BIG sister! She had to have standy feets cuz she's so friggin, oops, nevermind. My other sister Yumi and I have nice thick socks, and are light enough to stand while Bear plays dress-up with us. Insoles in our socks might be nice for a little more protection. I like Anung's idea of repurposing old neoprene a lot. Lilith, you got a darn clever Big Fellah there! I would use bears old ones, but gets all the life out of them, standing most of the day at work. Not so stinky, but smooshed.
