Product Option Tutorial: Standing Feet
What are Standing Feet?
A sex doll is comprised of an outer flesh-like material, such as TPE or silicone, which surrounds an internal heavy metallic skeleton. The skeleton is critical as is allows for realistic movement and posing of the doll.
As realistic sex dolls are adult-sized and made of dense materials, like the internal metal frame, they can be considerably heavy. Lightweight, advanced sex dolls can weight under 60 lbs., but the majority of sex dolls are in 60-90 lb. range. Some sex dolls can weight over 100 lbs.
When this weight is applied and concentrated on the bottom of the doll's feet when it is in the standing position, the metal frame is pushed down and the weight of the doll becomes concentrated over the heels and soles of the feet. This downward force would easily penetrate through the 0.5-1.0" of flesh on the bottom of the feet if the doll were to be stood up on its own, even once.
For this reason, if you are considering standing your doll, even if briefly, and even with shoes, the "standing feet" option is highly recommended and is the only sure way to avoid damaging the bottoms of the doll's feet when it is standing. These bolts can be removed at any time once installed and re-inserted when it is time to stand the doll; or, they can be permanently left in place. They can also be adjusted in height by tightening or loosening the bolts.
The "standing feet" option adds threaded bolts to the bottom of the doll's feet, three per foot, which connect directly to the internal skeleton. This way when the doll is stood up, the weight is applied and transferred through the bolts and not transferred through the soft flesh of the bottom of the doll's feet.
