mathieu242, Thank you for this information regarding the feet. It's actually been a little hard to get definitive clarity on whether or not hard standing feet without bolts can wear heels. Your information here helps clarify a LOT, so it's really appreciated! I'm going to guess that the Frey doll in the professional photos has the standing feet with bolts so she can still pivot at the ball of the foot? Thanks for the link to the standing photos and the video of her as well. I admit I really, really like this doll. She's at the top of my list but full confession I wish her bottom half were just a little thicker, haha. What can I say... I like my women shaped like pears (hence my continued obsession with the far-too-heavy Ursula)mathieu242 wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2023 10:59 pm
So far, so good. I ordered her without the bolts because I wanted this doll to be as realistic as possible. I haven't put any shoes on her except for a flat slip in slipper that she wears when I stand her up for cleaning.
The stand up without bolts option means you're getting a doll that has a hard silicone foot. It does not bend or rotate like the regular stand up feet so she will NOT be able to wear heels. In fact, putting any type of shoe besides a slipper or sneaker on her will prove to be difficult because the foot cannot bend. Starpery has this doll wearing heels in the "Freya" photo session:

..but it's hard to tell whether she has the feet with or without bolts. My guess is she has the standing feet with bolts, because they have her foot bent in an angle in that heeled shoe in a way that my stand up without bolts foot just cannot achieve.
As evidence in the new photos:

..she stands just fine without any support, but I always make sure my doll has a little pressure taken off her skeleton by just slightly leaning her against a wall or door.
BTW, make sure you watch the video of her standing in the above link...GREAT shot of her ass from behind. I think you're going to order her once you watch it
I'd like to say I'm narrowing the field down, but all of the dolls I lust over are so damned heavy. I'm just trying to figure out what I can live with. a 100lb. doll is pushing the limit for me.
