Different shoe sizes for Klickies?

[Captain Henry]

This may be old news, but Sirena discovered this the other day when she tried to put flippers on some of the new klickies with bare feet. It seems the klickies with shorts and bare feet have smaller feet than the ones with pants and bare feet. See for yourselves:

I had noticed this too, but my discovery happened the other way around when I tried to put the new shaped sandals onto an older barefoot figure and found they were too small.

I did wonder why they changed the foot size when they already had a mould they could adapt. I suppose they must have just decided a smaller foot would look better.

Thanks for sharing
We need a place like this so members can share their observations.

I tend to agree with Sylvia that the designers thought the original size feet were too large when the klickes are in shorts, or have bare legs.

It's certainly interesting why they should make such a change.  I wonder if it is because the kicky with the smaller feet is female (I think)?

I've been thinking about this some more...

I feel that the reason for the change has more to do with how the feet look when they have sandals on, rather than when they are bare. The old style slip-on sandals which were squarer did tend to make the klicky's feet look clumsy and overly large.

They must have been trying to make the new figures retain a streamlined look both when wearing shoes and without them, since many of the newer barefooted klickies in the Freetime range come with footwear.

very good observation, Sylvia!

Thanks for bringing this topic out, CH - I hadn't noticed this change either.
