Shoes that (don't) fit Simba's Super Model

OMG SHOES!
So much to choose from! OK, not really.
I've been going through my big box of doll shoes (which is actually quite small) trying to find something that will fit the Super Model feet, preferably something in a color other than pink. So far I'm not having much luck.


Too big!
Liv (?), Barbie flats
The black mary janes were sold as Liv shoes on eBay, but I'm not sure since they're a bit long for her feet too. The black ballerina flats are Barbie. None fit. :(

Disney Jane, Takara Jenny loafer 2
Skipper (green), Disney's Jane
Disney's Jane (from Peter Pan 2) came with weird shoes that several different dolls with semi-high heeled feet can fit in - a pity, since nobody really wants them. The green loafers (Takara Jenny, I think Skipper/Stacie, apparently) got my hopes up, but they are just a bit too small and I don't want to break them.

'90s Sindy heels, Liv sneaker
'90s Sindy, Liv sneaker
Liv's pink sneakers are big, but they work. Physically, that is. The other pink heels are from a '90s Sindy. There isn't quite room for the toes so the heel tends to float a bit, but depending on the angle it could work.


Super Model shoes 2

Unsurprisingly, the best fit are the shoes that came with the doll. I really like these shoes, but why oh why couldn't they have been black??

DeeDee/Bel pink shoes!
At least I found her some clothes that don't shed glitter everywhere!

I'll take this as a sign I should buy another Super Model (one that comes with black shoes), but that'll have to wait until I've upgraded the computer.

ETA: Apparently Disney VIP shoes fit? I haven't got any but I'll try if I get the chance. The more dolls you have, the more shoes you can buy - chances are they will fit someone. :D

  1. Grab a marker and color those puppies if pink isn't your thing. Cover them with matte varnish and they'll be ready for a night on the town.

  2. There is another pair of shoes that fit her feets- http://allegro.pl/buty-dla-lalek-barbie-i3289284537.html this kind. I guess you can buy it...somewhere. Its not elegant, but at least thats another pair of shoes she can wear, you just need to be gentle with them.

    1. Thanks for the tip! Are those for a Cali Girl Barbie? I hadn't thought about that, but I know those dolls have fairly big feet for a Barbie, so maybe other shoes for them might fit? Apart from that, I think Only Hearts Club is the best option.

  3. I have been intrigued by these dolls for a while, probably because they are not readily available in the states and I like a bit of a challenge. At any rate, I purchased two dolls from Amazon Germany and I absolutely love them. In a frenzy of trying to translate German, I ended up with two Juls dolls (city walk and palm beach) which are identical except for the outfits. Anyway, my point (and I do have one) is that Disney VIP shoes MIGHT fit on Simba Super Models, depending on the shoe. I bought a Hannah Montana outfit set on mega clearance and one of the two pairs does fit Juls. The second pair, not so much. I was able to fit one of Hannah's t-shirts and a pair of tights onto Juls, but that's it.

    1. Thanks for the tip! Yeah, they seem to be mostly sold in Germany and not so much elsewhere, so German ebay is probably the best way to find them for the rest of us (despite the language barrier). Conversely, I don't think the VIP dolls were ever sold in europe and the ones on ebay cost a fortune... But for those of you who own both dolls/shoes, that's something to keep in mind!
