Shoes - how many pairs do your dolls have?

Aug 26, 2011


    1. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      Two MSDs and two pairs of shoes.

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?

      Not really. Shoes aren't very important to me and that translated over to my dolls. Demetri will wear whatever shoes he wants with whatever outfit, since his outfits are simple they'll match no matter what.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Not often haha!

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?

      Depends on the doll and what style of clothing they wear? Fancy outfits need a lot of fancy shoes, simple street clothes not so much. *shrug*

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      Two pairs. Mihr doesn't wear shoes, so all the shoes are Demetri's right now. XD
       
    2. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      SD17 - 9 pairs
      SD13 & 10 - 3 pairs

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      I will try to find the suitable shoes for matching the clothes. The no. of clothes is much more than the shoes....... so one pair of shoes will works for several outfits XD

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Not very often... I think may be 2 months a pair? I'm now starting to produce the shoes by myself, it really takes me so much time for producing.

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      Haha... It's so hard to say... XD I think the no. of shoes should be equal to the no. of clothes they have.
      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      4 pairs.
       
    3. I have one doll, and two pairs of shoes for him : ) One pair came free. He usually only wears the free pair, because the ones I picked are a bit fancy *shrug* I don't know how many pairs of shoes a doll should have, that's really up to the owner ^^
       
    4. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      I own one doll and many many pairs of shoes.
      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      I have shoes that work with many outfits. But I also have boughten shoes for a specific outfit too.
      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      I change the shoes at least once a week.
      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      I think they should have as many shoes as they need. Everyone needs shoes.

      And if you can still remember:
      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      I only have one doll and she has many pairs. i think 7 pairs so far.
       
    5. I have two dolls: Erik -65 cm, it has two shoes, it was my first bjd, Hwang and I-70 cm, he has three shoes, the feet are different sizes, so do not share shoes. Every week I change their clothes to depend on them I change the shoes, if I could buy spates quite different, but .....

    6. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      5SDs have got 12 pairs of shoes they can share and a woman-doll has got 5 high-heeled pairs.
      3MSDs have got 12 pairs they can share and a girl-doll has got 4 girly pairs.
      1YoSD has got 8 pairs.

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      I buy more or less universal style shoes. Some shoes are for special outfits, but mostly not.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      When I change doll's outfits. Now often, coz I'm making photostories )


      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?

      Depends on the character of your doll, I think.

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      initially my first dolls (2 msd boys) had 5 pairs.

      so many shoes... it 's big doll box! i'm not quite sure that my numbers are correct ) I think they've got more shoes.
       
    7. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      4.5 MSDs-around 9 or 10 pairs
      1 tiny- 1 pair (but she's an anthro and doesn't really like shoes)

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?

      I adore shoes for myself and tiny shoes are even more awesome. I think I love shoes more than the dolls sometimes, and I'll probably start collecting SD high heels that I love. Some of the shoes are neutral enough to go with anything, others are very specific and only work with certain outfits. My doll's wardrobe is mostly mix and match pieces anyway, so there's always something new to wear.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      A lot, but each doll has a favorite pair they always seem to find an excuse to wear, and one of them is the only one able to stand in a certain pair, so she's the only one that wears them.

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?

      *shrug* I don't talk about or worry about 'ideals' for much of anything, let alone a hobby that is so individual. I will have as many pairs of doll shoes as I fall in love with and have the money to buy.

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      When I first got her, she only had around three pairs because it was difficult to find shoes for slim minis. When I got my mnfs shortly after, the shoe thing exploded (since their feet are really close in size and they can share shoes).
       
    8. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      I only have one doll at present, and she has two pairs of shoes.
      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      I have a few more outfits than I do shoes for my doll, but she doesn't have many outfits to begin with. The shoes she has are fairly neutral, so they work with everything she already has. I bought neutral shoes so they would work with many outfits.
      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      The brand of shoes she has are made to be worn with socks, and I don't have any socks for her right now. So she actually doesn't wear her shoes, because when I put them on her they usually fall off, or look really weird.
      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      As many as they need! Some dolls personalities require a pair of shoes for every outfit. Others, like my doll, only need a few basics and they're good to go. It's really up to the type of doll and the owner.
       
    9. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have?
      Just one boy and he has 5 pairs of shoes. Four of the pairs are girly shoes though. I will definetly buy more shoes in the future.
      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      I try to mach up shoes and outfits but don't get too far and I definitely have more outfits.
      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Every day if not a few times a day. Depends on the activity.
      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      As many pairs as the owner has XD
       
    10. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      1 Doll, 2 Pairs of shoes

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      I don't think its too important, so far, her boots work with most of the clothes she has, her running shoes are strictly for her gym time.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Not too often, as I only have two pair.

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      Hm, I'm not really sure.
       
    11. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      One of my dolls (the Yo-SD) has a tail instead of feet, so she doesn't have shoes at all.
      One (SD) has two pairs of shoes and a pair of flipflops.
      And the third one (In between size MSD/SD) only has one pair yet, since she has a very weird shoesize.. It's hard to find shoes in her size.


      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?

      Well, my dolls don't have that many different outfits, haha. But since my MSD wears black shoes, it goes with several outfits.
      My SD has a white and pink pair. And since she only wears white and pink, that works.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Not often :3

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      Wow.. that really depends. I think that when you change the outfit, you have to pick shoes that fit. I mean, a complete red outfit with yellow shoes, could look really weird.

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      My first doll is the SD, and like I said, she has two pairs of shoes en one pair of flipflops
       
    12. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      Two, one MSD and one 70cm. There's one pair of shoes for Amser and none for Noire.
      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      I should think that one pair would do for at least 2 or 3 outfits.Shoes aren't quite as important as clothes in my opinion, as I often go barefoot myself!
      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Rarely if ever.
      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      One or two seems reasonable, unless they're some sort of fashionista!
       
    13. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)

      I've not counted shoes - I have 32 BJD's (I think - I lose track, having a house fullof allsorts of different types of dolls). Many of my BJDs with the same size feet share shoes, although most of them have one or two pairs that are theirs alone. One boy has bigger feet than the others so his five pairs of shoes are his alone (more when I find styles I like that fit him).

      My SD gang can mostly share and have a couple of crates (9 Litre Really Useful Boxes with layers of partitioned trays) of shoes between them : http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f190/guyelfkin/Dolls/PC310003.jpg. Likewise my Minis and slim minis can share and have a couple of smaller boxes of shoes between them... and the same with the other sizes.

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?

      Shoes are important - the right shoes to go with the right style of outfit.

      Most of my gang are dressed in old-fashioned/vintage (Victorian/Edwardian, or classic "old-fashioned" styles, sometimes older historical) styles and the wrong shoes can spoil an entire outfit -which is why I have so much trouble finding shoes inn the right styles - so many BJD shoes have clunky soles, even when the uppers are in the right style. Even the thinner soles on a lot of BJD shoes are out-of-proportion for the older styles of clothing I want to pair them with... frequently I buy shoes intended for other types of dolls with similar sized feet because the scale/proportion is better (and often they are cheaper). Sometimes I get shoes made to go with specific outfits. (http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f190/guyelfkin/Dolls/P3300182a.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f190/guyelfkin/Dolls/PICT0312.jpg... occasionally socks made to match too: http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f190/guyelfkin/Dolls/P3300181aJPG.jpg)

      I try to go for colours and styles of shoes and boots that will work with several outfits, although some special outfits have specific shoes that go with them

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?

      Whenever I change them into an outfit the current pair don't work with

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?

      As many as they need so they go with each outfit the doll has. If the shoes go with several outfits then the number of pairs of shoes is fewer, of course. But my dolls all dress in roughly similar styles so I need enough shoes in each size grouping for each of them to have appropriate shoes for the outfits they're in.

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?

      When I first got him?... or now?

      He came with a pair of boots - once I had him and knew what size was needed I could start getting more. He has pretty standard SD size feet so can share with my other boys, although he has several pairs of shoes that are specifically his (the initial boots, some antique doll shoes that go with his 18th Century suit etc.).

    14. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)

      Dolls: Too Many :lol:

      70cm: 1 male
      1/3 scale: 12 female 47 male
      1/4 scale: 2 female, 2male
      1/6 scale: 1 female, 4 male
      1/12 scale: 1 male

      Total number of shoes: Not as many as you might think with that kind of horde... Many of mine are in traditional dress and just don't wear them regularly. Four of my guys (Rowan & T'tomi, who are Soom SGs, and Morro & Davi, who are Soom Tinies) wear hooves, so shoes are completely out of the question for them.

      Over all, I counted 30 wearing shoes right now. Somewhat less than half. There are about two dozen more pairs in the "shoe box", skewed pretty heavily towards modern, 1/3-scale female styles and assorted boots.

      Very few of my crew have shoes that are exclusive to them... The exceptions being Issun (my Banji) and Palrah (my Akando), who are the only dolls their size. Pretty much everyone else can (and does-) share within their general size group.

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?

      Some outfits have specific shoes that match them, others don't... and how important that is depends entirely on the outfit in question. I really can't give a general answer, because there's no "universal circumstance" over here.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?

      When I put them in an outfit that needs them... and that, too, varies quite a bit. Some dolls I change every week or two, others may stay the same for months.

      4. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?

      More than he really needed since he's one of the dolls who very rarely wears them. :|
      Harumatsu started out with three or four pairs, I think, all of which are still here in the "general collection".

      5. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?

      As many as they need for the style and look you're trying to accomplish. That may be a dozen different pairs or none at all... It depends entirely on what you're after.
       
    15. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have?

      Tabby (Tiny) has 9-10 pairs of shoes, Toreth (MSD) has three, and Leo (Yo-SD) has only one. :)

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?

      No way! Tabby has at least 50 dresses, shirts, and pants (most are from other 8 inch dolls I had before BJDs), and both Toreth and Leo have more clothes than shoes.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?

      Tabby, whenever I change her outfit I like to put new shoes one, Toreth doesn't usually wear shoes since none of her pairs fit right, and poor Leo never gets any love or outfit changes. :(

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?

      As many as she/he wants! I definitely want more, especially for Toreth!

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?

      She has either 9 or 10 pairs. 2 sneakers, 2 slippers, 3 boots, sandals, flip flops... and possibly a few that I'm forgetting.
       
    16. I'm really stingy on shoes for some reason. I only have 3 pairs between my two dolls, and they're constantly being interchanged.
       
    17. I am not sure I qualify since I am still waiting on my first (ahem and second) BJD but currently... they have no shoes ;)

      Up until now I have only collected Blythe dolls. Between the 11 of them they probably have 30+ pairs of shoes and I recently sold a lot of them.

      The funny thing is... they are always barefoot so I am assuming my latis will be too. I was always losing one here or there and having to retrace my steps to find it so I just stopped bothering. If I put some on for a photo, they come right back off and go back in the shoe box after it.
       
    18. LOL I am like giant fail when it comes to shoes for my dolls..... well here we go I guess

      1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      I have 11 dolls. Only two of them have shoes, my little girls Aithne & Josephine

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      To me the clothing is more important, only when my doll has his/her perfect outfit do I start even looking for shoes.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Never since the girls are diferent sizes and only have one pair each.

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      I would Ideally have at least one pair of shoes for each doll, with them not having to share.


      And if you can still remember:
      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      That would be.............. none :sweat
       
    19. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      I have one MSD and four tinies at home. For the MSD I have three pair of shoes and for the tinies I have eight pairs.

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      That depends on their size. The bigger the doll, the more important the shoes are. You don't find many types of shoes for tinies, so naturally they have less. Bigger dolls have a great variety of shoes and I like shoes, so I keep buying more.

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      Again it depends. My tinies tend to wear the same shoes all the time, because it often match all the outfits I have for them. My MSD can wear a lot of different outfits which calls for different shoes. So with MSD it's almost everytime she changes outfit.

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      Depending on size, MSDs and SDs should, in my opinion, have lots and lots of shoes, tinies maybe a couple.

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      One pair. I wasn't that much into buying clothes and shoes in the beginning. That changed drastically. :sweat
       
    20. 1. How many dolls do you have and how many shoes do they have? (Please separate different size dolls/dolls who don't share shoes.)
      I have 4 MSD's and 1 SD (who doesn't have shoes yet so I won't count him in). They all share the 6 or 7 pairs of shoes I have, although they have a 'favorite' pair that suits their style and feet best.

      2. How important are your doll's shoes compared to their clothing? Do you have as many shoes as you do outfits, or does one pair work for several outfits?
      Not that important, if I make a new outfit I don't go out looking for shoes to match them. I just work with what I have and that's usually enough ^^

      3. How often do you change your doll's shoes?
      As often as I change their clothes, which is maybe one every three, four weeks. Sometimes they don't wear shoes for a while if I can't find a matching pair for their outfit.

      4. Ideally, how many pairs of shoes do you think a doll should have?
      To be honest, I think each doll should at least have 1 pair of shoes, or you should have at least two basic pairs for the whole crew if they can share. Usually a black pair, a white pair, and some casual sneakers should do. But really, it depends on the doll's style.

      5. How many pairs of shoes did your first doll have?
      Three pairs, to be exact! They were sold together second-hand so it was a bit of a bargain, but my dolls still use them.
