Shoes Flexing Tester
The Whole Shoes Flexing Tester is designed to evaluate the flexibility and bending resistance of finished shoes and shoe soles. The instrument performs reciprocating flexing movements at specified angles and frequencies to determine material performance and to detect potential cracking in the shoe or sole. It provides repeatable, quantitative results for quality control, product development, and performance verification.
Application
This tester is suitable for assessing the flexibility and durability of finished shoes, including:
Sports shoes: running shoes, basketball shoes, football shoes.
Casual shoes: sneakers, loafers, canvas shoes.
Work shoes: industrial and safety footwear.
Leather shoes and other footwear types requiring evaluation of sole or upper flexibility.
Footwear R&D: detecting potential cracking or structural failure under repeated flexing.
Standards
The Whole Shoes Flexing Tester complies with:
(1) SATRA TM92 — Footwear: Flexing Test for Finished Shoes
(2) ISO 24266 Method A — Rubber and Plastic Footwear: Flexing Test

Features
Equipped with an acrylic protective cover for safe operation and low noise.
Heel fixture uses a linear slide for smooth movement with minimal resistance.
Running times can be freely set, and the machine automatically stops after the test is completed.
Allows simultaneous testing of up to four samples, improving efficiency.
Accessories
(1) Acrylic protective cover
(2) Heel fixtures for four samples
(3) User manual and calibration certificate
(4) Power cable
Test Procedures
(1) Place the finished shoes on the heel and toe fixtures.
(2) Adjust the bending angle and test speed according to test requirements.
(3) Set the desired number of cycles on the touch-screen counter.
(4) Start the machine; the shoes will undergo reciprocating flexing.
(5) The counter automatically tracks cycles until completion, then the machine stops.
(6) Inspect shoes for cracks or deformation and record results.
Maintenance Information
Regularly clean heel and toe fixtures to remove debris.
Inspect linear slides and moving components for wear and lubricate as needed.
Verify the accuracy of the digital counter periodically.
Check electrical connections and touch-screen functionality for proper operation.
Ensure protective acrylic cover is intact and securely mounted.
