I need a hand. Or rather, a foot.

I'm looking for a plastic foot to use in displaying shoes. Ideally I'd like a foot/calf, which would be helpful for boots.

I already have a foot/calf form for displaying stockings, but the toe is pointed, which makes it impossible to use for shoes unless the heel is a certain height.

You can U2U me if you have one!

Thanks so much!

Susan

Is this what you have Susan? I know it's not a calf, but for the price !!

The old saying you get what you pay for applys here. I tried the really cheap foot forms and have since thrown them out. They are probably worth the asking price but when you add shipping, no.

I looked at those and considered it but want something a little smaller and with a bit more of an ankle, so I can show off the straps.

Someone on the VFG (I think) had clear "feet" which I thought looked nice.

I think that was Nanc, Susan. (or she had the ones with painted toes)

I bought some a while back but I cannot seem to fit a shoe on them. They don't move - ya know what I mean. They are also shaped with an upward angle so flats don't work.

If you find something that works for you, I'd like to know.

I actually take the leg off my manni. It usually works pretty good. If I want to do both shoes, I just take her off the stand and kind of lean her against the wall (I usually take her torso off for this). If I have alot of shoes to photograph, it's worth doing this way.

 

[vintageclothesline]

Well, that's a good idea!

I still think my manni has an odd shape foot, though, but will have to try it.

Susan,

Occasionally Payless Shoes has those clear shoe inserts in their shoes. You might want to ask if you could have a pair that they are throwing out. They don't give you any leg to hook straps around but they're good for other style shoes. I asked them after I bought a pair of shoes from them and they gave me two sets.
