Applications：

The Footwear Flection Tester is designed to assess the flexing endurance of overall footwear in wet and dry conditions.

Product information：

The Footwear Flection Tester is supplied in both single or twin station models and the operation simulates the flexing of footwear during wear. The angle of flex is adjustable up to 50deg;.

The machine may be used to predict the adhesive failure and cracking of footwear in wear. It is particularly useful in assessing problems associated with the sole structure.

Footwear is clamped to the machine at the toe end by using the appropriate toe clamp from one of five pairs supplied. The heel end is secured to the flexing bar. A predetermining counter is fitted and once the appropriate number of flexes has been registered, the machine will stop so that the shoe can be inspected.

The moving parts of the machine are covered by a hinged guard which is fitted with the latest safety device to prevent access while the machine is still in use. The machine is robust and non-corrosive materials are used in the relative components required..

A similar machine is available for testing high leg boots where water depth can be increased to cover the whole forepart of the footwear, highest to the metal ring area. Details available on request.
