What fits an IpleHouse EID woman?

Quite well, actually!! You need to be aware that not every style will fit, but the majority I've tried on so far have fit.

I wrote up a detailed review post, with photos, of a number of different styles from Tata's Paradise.

Also, I've found that similar SD16-size shoes from rRabit shop (also known as Rabbit Shop or rRabbit Shop -- their website is here) fit quite well -- I wrote a review of the resin-heeled sandals here, you can (kind of) see my nYID-body hybrid (same size feet) wearing rRabit thigh-high boots here, and my SID girl wearing a different-colored pair here:



In the Tata's Paradise thread, we've listed a number of styles that have been tried on EID/SID feet and which have successfully worked out.

Hope this helps!

That's excellent. Thanks so much.

I've been looking into making my own shoes specifically for EIDs. For research's sake, I'd be interested to know what styles of shoes you wish you could fit on your girls.

 

Glad to help!

Hmm -- I like shoes with delicate heels, like this:

(Even though they'd need to be a bit bigger, in order to fit the EID wider foot, I still think that it's possible to make graceful shoes for EID girls.)

Cute, casual boots are totally missing from the EID wardrobe -- in another thread (I think "what fits SID women?"), someone was asking about casual slouchy brown boots, especially ones made to fit the FLAT feet.

My girls' flat feet go almost entirely unused, because they just don't make shoes for them -- I would LOVE to have some flats of various types, and some suede boots:

I've done pretty well finding SD16-sized shoes that will work, but I'd love to have some more casual options for my girls -- they have all the shiny, studded shoes they need in order to be bad-ass biker queens, but my three human girls would love to be able to wear jeans and boots and a tank top sometimes!

If you wind up making your own shoes, please post some examples here, so that we can see!

Thanks for the ideas. I'll put them to good use.

It's a little frustrating that the only choices on the Iple store are frumpy or dominatrix.

 

What they need is classic chic. the 'timeless' look pumps, a couple of sling backs, dressy sandal that would pass for evening or fun day wear. and a simple 'goes with anything' flat full cover and sandal (9style has my fave in the cute sandal look). Stuff that IS NOT trendy but goes with anything (or most things) no matter what the current trend is. "the little black dress" of foot wear?

 

Yes, yes, everything here, yes! Has anyone ever emailed Iple requesting these? I'd love some flats and shoes that can easily translate from fun casual daywear to formal ball.

 

lol glad you like my idea lol... the black shiny flats with the bronze(?) are not too bad... best option available and what my girl wears all the time with everything (I can't change her feet by myself ><). Not quite 'formal' ballroom but very acceptable for 'cocktail' party ^^.. when she goes into her Edelweiss outfit I will be sure to take a pic of her with the flats (I think it should work fine). But that is for Feb. January is 'sloppy/comfy' month for my kids, so tank-top, leggings and sweater (and flats ;p )

these ones are the ones I mean http://iplehouse.com/home/shop/item.php?it_id=1572036719&nhn1=en

quite doable in a pinch really

 

Thanks Lilsgirl and April. I love how the outfit came together and I really love how Khaali looks in it. :-) Btw, for anyone whose looking into buying the K2 70cm pants for your EID ladies...the "leather" pants work, but the jeans won't. The "leather" ones have enough stretch to them that the pants close completely and my girl can even sit down in them. The jeans, though, will slide up her hips and I can fasten them, but none of them have a zipper, so it gaps open. Not so big of a deal with a long shirt, but I wanted to point it out

 

We did, actually -- there was a discussion on the "Iple Talk" forum (which is public, so that multiple people can comment/thread/response.)

Afterward, they added two pairs of flats:

The black ones are quite nice, and are my go-to flats now. The red ones are cute, but like the black/bronze ones, are fairly "girlish" -- I'd love a pair of plain black ballet flats (not patent, no ornaments except for possibly a small string bow), which fit more like actual ballet flats (thin sole, foot-conforming fit.)

My EID/SID/nYID women are *womanly*, not girlish -- that's why I have dolls from OTHER companies! (Not that there aren't cute, girlish EIDs/etc., but they're all mature women in my household, and I'd like them to have shoes that look like something I'd consider wearing . . . wait, probably cancel that, I'll wear anything with Hello Kitty on it, and I'm 38, haha. But I tend to have fairly classy taste in SHOES!)

The suede ones are quite nice, but I'd like a similar pair without the ankle strap, in leather (in part because suede flats don't necessarily go well with, say, jeans and a leather vest, and in part because I have two cats, one of them mostly white, and suede is a fur-magnet, LOL!!)

They do have a couple of options for sandals, although I'm surprised to see that the snakeskin sandals (which used to come in cream and . . . black or brown?) are now only available in orange. None of them are flat sandals, though.

(I'd be thrilled to bits if they re-used their pattern for Lahela's default sandal and offered it in a couple of colors -- I really love the flat sandals she came with, they fit well with her character, and they suit her style very well . . . but not everything goes with brown!)

Can you guys link to some (real-world or doll -- preferably real-world, so they don't think we're asking them to copy another doll company) examples of the styles you're looking for? I think it's time to send them another suggestion thread!

-- A

 

I think they have already a lot of suggestion threads they should pay attention like new body type and jointed hands but of course a woman face of someone would be nice suggestion and maybe "easy one" unlike body/hand things xD but would be nice to know are they interested to plan those previous ones at all or should we try other things.. Well, it doesn't cost anything so why not, they have that board for our use!

 

Lady Tiku you nailed it! Perhaps you could post at Iplehouse just what you wrote here and we can come in behind you and say we agree!! Ashbet, my girls are also women.
The pumps they have I wouldn't wear and I have passed into senior citizen land. Whoever cuts the patterns for the shoes is not a shoe person. I do think sending some pictures of some Louboutin's or whatever would be good, but I'm not sure the nuances of cut will translate.
I love Allsaints and they are a line that employes some hardware, so I don't dislike it altogether.
On Ebay there is a fairly new seller http://tinyurl.com/k4jv79q that has nice shoes. The leopard ones I got didn't fit. I did email them about Iplehouse doll shoes, because they have a Stella in some things. He or she actually asked the factory and the minimum for one style is 100 pieces in up to 5 colors. I'm sure there are 100 owners out there, but it's a big risk for a seller.

 

Lilsgirl, I *love* the Sweetiiger shoes (I actually linked to some of them in my post above, about what we're looking for in shoes) . . . if they made a couple of styles in IpleHouse width/fit, I think they'd sell like hotcakes!

Wonder if we could get a group order together? 5 colors would be awesome -- we could pick a style of heels, figure out how many pairs people wanted, and pick the colors -- if ten people bought 5 pairs apiece, that would do it. (Or 15 people with a varying number of pairs, etc.)

Coming out of lurking to hope for a sign up sheet for the Sweetiiger shoes. I have women instead of girlie girls, too, so shoes have been a big problem.

 

Perhaps it would be a good thing if you all would contact him too. I would be up for a group order for sure. I'm still relatively new around here so are there any other ways of getting the word out?
You may want to quote this response I got so they know we are serious. I told them I would ask on DoA if others were interested.

hello!
you are right,the shoes for IP doll is less than SD, i told this to factory but their limit is at least 100 pairs(can have 3-5 different colours) can start to arrange for the production.i am not sure this many of shoes can be sold.

Do you have an e-mail, or would we have to contact him through eBay?

If he'd be up for doing a group order, I could post on some of the IpleHouse groups on Flickr, letting them know that this might be a possibility, and seeing what styles people were interested in -- we'd probably have to pick one style and just have multiple colors, to show that it will sell, but we could vote on the style.

sugestion of style... strappy high heel sandal. not the ring around the ankle strap but along the foot, behind the heel... I just Google a small batch of pics and saved them... should I load them to my flicker as ideas so you guys can see what "I" think? What I picked are what might seem like older types but these could be sexy for ANY age... meaning if Gran wanted to wear them she could and not be looked at as wearing 'hooker' shoes :P And the ones I picked could all work with various heel heights (my personal fave is a kitten heel - tiny but low).

 

Please do. I know next to nothing about shoes beyond my own personal preference so it'll help me greatly.

 

I just heard from Sweetiiger and it's very interesting if we can pull it off. Can you post some sort of notice on the various Flickr group lead page? I know there is a group just for Carina so maybe there are many I don't know about.
Fish mouth style
ok~Are you want this color matching of fish mouth shoes?
this one is gorgeous.this is picture about it in different colours.that is made for SD16.
you also can choose colours by you own.
and by the way,you can give me a picture of the shoes you want to make order (can be people shoes).before A formal production,they will made a model for you.
if really you can get enough buyer for 100 pairs.I can give you a nice discount that for sure.

I am deff interesting in this too!
