Frequently Ask Questions
Q: Why is testing bending durability important for footwear?
A: Footwear is subjected to constant bending during walking or running. Testing ensures that materials and constructions can withstand this repetitive stress without cracking, losing flexibility, or failing prematurely, impacting comfort and longevity.
Q: What specific parts of a shoe can be tested using this machine?
A: Commonly tested components include outsoles, midsoles, complete sole assemblies, upper materials (like leather or synthetics), and sometimes even the complete finished shoe, depending on the specific test method and machine type.
Q: How does the machine simulate real-world walking or flexing?
A: The machine repeatedly bends a sample or shoe at a specific angle and speed for a set number of cycles, mimicking the flexing action that occurs in the flex area of the foot during movement.
Q: What are some common types or methods of footwear bending tests?
A: Well-known tests include the Ross Flex Test, De Mattia Flex Test, Bally Flex Test (or Vamp Flex), and tests specifically for finished footwear bending, each with different sample preparation, bending mechanisms, and standards.
Q: Which international standards apply to these tests?
A: Numerous international standards govern footwear bending tests, including methods from ISO (e.g., ISO 20344), ASTM (e.g., ASTM D1052, ASTM D813), SATRA, and national standards, specifying procedures for various materials and test types.
Q: Can different materials used in footwear (like rubber, leather, synthetics, composites) be tested?
A: Yes, these machines are designed to test the bending properties of a wide range of materials commonly used in footwear construction, including various types of rubber, leather, synthetic leathers, textiles, and thermoplastic elastomers.
Q: Is sample preparation required before using the machine?
A: Yes, specific sample preparation is usually required. This might involve cutting test pieces of standard dimensions from sheet material or components, sometimes creating a small initial cut (nick) to act as a stress concentration point for crack growth analysis.
Q: How does the bending test relate to the final product quality and comfort?
A: A shoe or component that performs well in a bending test is likely to be more durable and comfortable in use, resisting cracks that can lead to water penetration, discomfort, and premature product failure.
