Shopping Where can I buy stiletto style shoes for my nYID.

May 16, 2022

    1. Hello everyone, I hope my message will not be a duplicate. I searched in the different posts, but I couldn't find an answer to my question.
      I bought shoes on eBay and Etsy, they were all too small, even though the sellers said they would fit Iplehouse dolls.
      I would like to know if you have any addresses to give me. I have plenty of shoes to buy on Iplehouse, I would like to change the style.
      Thanks a lot for your help.
       
    2. Iplehouse has a few dozen styles for sale :3nodding:
       
    3. I already have shoes purchased on the Iplehouse website. I am looking for shoes with higher heels.
       
    4. Thank you quake, for the link. Shoes are beautiful, I will surely buy some in a few days.
       
    5. For Iple girl feet it can be hit and miss, sadly. Most generic 1/3 size high heels are too small for them. Those marked SD16 sized usually fit better. Then there's also the question of how high the arch of the sole is - some high heel feet have lower arches than others and it can be a problem. So it is hard to say beforehand, sadly. For example, I have these Senior Delf Girl shoes from Luts and they do fit although they shouldn't, going from the SDGs foot size... I know, it can be irritating. I guess that's why I have all these shoes lying around...
       
    6. It's really difficult, I bought a dozen pairs of shoes supposed to fit Iplehouse feet and when I receive them, I realize that they are too narrow or too short for my dolls. There are a few that I managed to use by cutting the back, but unfortunately that's not the case with several pairs that I still keep.

      Thanks Mandragore for the Luts link. I found a few shoes that may be useful for my future projects.
       
    7. @Rosydolls Just to clarify, what exactly is meant by shoes "supposed to fit Iplehouse feet" - did the sellers actually describe them as fitting Iple girls? If so, and none of them fit, then that is really not ok...?
      The Iple girl feet were re-designed a few years ago, but if I remember correctly, they were made a little bit smaller, so more shoes could fit them, so that cannot be the reason either... unless you have the old feet, and the shoes were supposed to fit the newer version.
       
    8. In the ads, the sellers claim that the shoes go to Iplehouse EID, SID, nYID. I have a nYID bought in 2013, so when I see an ad for Iplehouse shoes, I buy.
      I have returned pairs of shoes to certain sellers who apologized because they thought their shoes would fit the Iplehouses.
      Most of the time, these are shoes with higher heels than those offered by Iplehouse.
       
    9. Oh, I see. But that could be one of the reasons then, perhaps, that these sellers talk about the newer feet. 2013 could be before they changed the girls' feet, I'm sure it's somewhere on the Iple site. Or maybe the sellers just did not do their due research. Anyway, sorry you had so much bad luck!
      I had a few Model girl shoes from Dollmore that fit quite well, by the way. But these days so many of my shoes fall under the curse of decaying faux leather... and just crumble away.
       
    10. I too had the displeasure of discovering shoes that I had kept in tissue paper in order to shelter them, decompose and fluff.
      I'm very hesitant to buy the high-heeled Model doll pumps from Dollmore. I buy boots and flats on the site and I'm very happy with them.
