Standing Modes

[Mr Franz]

Jyoti has a pair of open shoes that do that. Nearly every time you adjust her stance, damn shoe twists! In my case it's because they're a half size too big.

These are a royal PITA. They do that every time. I'm in the process of looking for the deck shoes now. Some are astronomical in price, like most everything else. I like looking at Amazon as with Prime I get them in two days.

I usually just get mine used off eBay. Last 2 pair I bought were $5 each shipped. Wish my gals took the same size as my wife. She puts Imelda Marcos' shoe collection to shame!

They claim this girl wears a size 4. For $6 getting a 4 and 5 to be sure won't break the bank. My 160 size girl wears a 5, I think.

Size 5 is pretty big. Even the ones I got have extra toe room.
I measured her feet before I went the first time.
I even managed to fit a size 2 on a 158.
Measure twice, buy once.
Or, save the receipt.
I’d get a size 3 and a 4. See which one fits her the best.

You may find these charts useful in determining shoe size.

Not much difference between a 3,4 and 5. How do they measure- from the heel to the big toe?

[Dollover2000]

If I recall, as a child, when my parents/grandparents took me to get shoes, they would use that measuring thing that shoe stores had. They always made me stand up flat-footed and measured heel to big toe.
Pretty much guarantee you a 5 would be too big.
Even my big 170 only wears a 4. Can’t say about other shoe styles though, there can be inconsistencies in sizes between types/brands.
But if you do go with the Walmart deck shoe, size 4 should be plenty big enough.

[ColColt]

I'll give a size 4 a try. Maybe that won't twist on her foot the way these do. I looked at the box they came in and they're a size 5.

Yeah that's pretty much it, standing on a ruler. Not as accurate as a Brannock Device, but it'll get you in the ballpark.

[ColColt]

I think for this girl I'm going to go with a size 4. I believe that'll be the ticket for her. While I'm there, may as well get another size for the other one. I think since I'm reluctantly going to be a WalMart Monday( no weekends) may as well look for a size 30D bra as well. I'm not so sure I like the idea of keeping that on her most of the time due to the straps maybe cutting into her shoulder and the clasps in the back but, maybe a handkerchief or something similar for that in the back would suffice.

I'm still deep into the research phase before deciding which girlfriend to choose, and I have many noob questions
So, do the dolls shown here in this thread have normal or 'standing' feet? I'd like my girl to have the normal feet, and it would be nice to be able to watch her beauty while she's standing up leaning against something. If normal feet are ok is it then possible to use normal high heeled shoes without damaging her feet? The girl I'm thinking of at the moment in this dream world is a YL155/A weighing around 30 kg

[ColColt]

From all I understand if you want to stand her you should opt for the standing feet. There's extra support in the skeleton for that purpose. I don't believe you can stand her without that option but, others more knowledgeable than me should come along and expand on that.

My three girls all have the standing feet option. My heaviest girl (160cm) at 85 pounds could not stand up otherwise and I doubt the 158 could either. Here's a shot of the 158 girl and what the feet look like with the bolt caps on.
