1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Does your doll wear shoes?

Jul 10, 2014

    1. Only a very few of mine do…if it truly suits their characters to do so. The rest happily traipse about barefoot because that suits their characters better. My dolly realm is a fantasy one (fairies, elves, anthros, sentient plants, people wandering through an enchanted forest, etc.) so the majority of them just prefer to be shoeless which is a big money saver because shoes are expensive.:sweat

    2. My dolls always wear shoes. They don't feel complete without them! Shoes are definitely expensive but totally worth it imo

    3. They're supposed to, at least! For the most part. I have more dolls than shoes right now (five dolls, three pairs of shoes), so two are barefoot. One is smaller (40cm versus the others being in the 43-45cm range) so she's too small for the shoes anyways, and the other is a Resinsoul Zhen, who, well, has big ol' dragon feet. Those aren't going to be fitting in most pants, let alone shoes.
       
    4. I think the shoes are legitimately my favorite part of any doll's outfit. I'm kind of a shoe freak for myself (not expensive ones, but unique finds) So, shoes gotta be involved somehow lol. Though I plan on soon giving all of my dolls nice pedicures so their toes look nice in sandals or barefoot!!

    5. Yess all my dolls have shoes! They can't be without. I'm truthfully very picky over shoes though, so the pairs my dolls do own were very carefully curated lol. I take their individual styles and designated personalities into consideration, so that I know they have pairs that match them and their wardrobes.

    6. I only put shoes on for my dolls for photoshoots to protect them from scratch. Normally they're barefoot :kitty2
       
    7. My dolls are shoe-aholics!!! Even if their feet aren’t in a photo, it does not feel right to me if they do not have shoes on!

    8. I have more shoes than my dolls! I love to put beautiful things on them. It makes me happy to see them being pretty (every prettier than me lol
       
    9. My dolls should wear shoes because I spent so much on them, but right now they're chilling on a (doll sized) couch so they are barefoot. I have the heeled feet on them both though, so if I want to take standing pictures they're going to have to have shoes on hahaha.
       
    10. I love shoes so much, I have a million shoes so of course my dolls must also have a million shoes. And doll shoes are just so cute! An outfit just isn’t complete if my dolls don’t have shoes!

    11. all my dolls wear shoes except my ring doll Ksitigarbha who is a qilin in human form and only wear traditional Chinese clothes,
      i love doll shoes though they are just so expensive and hard to find certain styles

    12. Embarrassed to admit that none of my dolls wears shoes at the moment I do have some but they don’t fit to their clothes. I think buying shoes for dolls is just exhausting I often can’t find the right size or design I want and when I see them they cost more than the entire outfit

    13. I most of the time feel like my outfits aren't complete without shoes, but also sometimes have a hard time finding shoes for specific dolls. I have one girl wearing slides right now that should definitely have something cuter, but a doll I haven't even finished the layaway for yet has at least 2 pairs waiting for her when she gets here. :mwahaha

    14. I don’t have many shoes for my dolls, so they are usually barefoot. Need to buy some for them.
       
    15. For most of the time I've been collecting my dolls have never worn shoes lol I've just rectly found two pairs I like so I've bought them but they don't wear them unless I'm taking photos or want to pose them on a stand
       
    16. The only one's of mine that don't are the one's without human feet... Which is about 10 or so.
       
    17. My yosds have shoes and my msds just have socks
       
    18. I will say "if it's possible for them to wear shoes, they wear shoes" lol. My only human doll had shoes put on within an hour of him coming home. My cat-tuar has cat-peets so no shoes. And my birb boy has giant birb talons for toes, so I don't think I'd even be able to find a pair to fit him lol.
       
    19. I'm surprised how many people here keep their dolls shoe-less :o I never would have thought so!

      To me, shoes are an essential part of the outfit, so they're a must for my dolls ^-^ Each of my dolls has their own little selection of shoes, some of them mix and match among each other, but usually I choose their shoes according to their styles, e.g. elegant men's shoes, fashionable sneakers, working boots etc. ^__^
       
    20. Despite the incredible amount of shoes I own... my dolls often spend their time at home barefoot. The discrepancy is so severe I think I can say I really have a completely separate hobby of collecting the doll shoes.

      Nevertheless, shoes are very useful. They can add that special finishing touch on an outfit and of course, protect my dolls' tender feet from the outdoors (ahem, and some of them stand much better wearing shoes). There are reasons I often leave them barefoot, one is just that I think they have cute little feet and I like to look at them and I rub them like a worry stone as I pass by the doll shelf sometimes. :XD:
