The Shoe Heel Impact Fatigue Tester is designed to evaluate the resistance of footwear heels (high heels, mid-heels, and other styles) to repeated dynamic impacts, simulating real-world walking or running forces. It provides objective quantitative data on the heel’s durability, enabling manufacturers and researchers to optimize design, verify quality, and assess continuous stress tolerance.
The tester is suitable for evaluating heel durability in:
(1) High-heeled shoes: Women’s fashion and formal heels.
(2) Mid-heeled footwear: Office shoes and casual heels.
(3) Low-heeled shoes with defined heel: Loafers, sandals, and booties.
(4) Children’s footwear with heels: School or formal shoes.
(5) Footwear R&D: Testing new heel materials, designs, and cushioning systems.
(6) Footwear quality control: Production inspection for heel fatigue performance.
(1) BS 5131 — British Standard for Footwear Heel Impact Test
(2) SATRA TM21 — Footwear Heel Impact Fatigue Testing
(3) EN ISO 20344 — Personal Protective Equipment — Footwear — Test Methods
(4) ASTM F1976 — Standard Test Method for Heel Impact Resistance
(5) GB/T 20991 — Test Methods for Personal Protective Equipment Shoes
(1) Measures the resistance of footwear heels to repeated impacts and fatigue.
(2) Simulates real-world walking and running forces for realistic evaluation.
(3) Provides objective quantitative results, including number of cycles until heel failure.
(4) Applicable for various heel types, including high heels, mid-heels, and defined low heels.
(5) Supports quality control, R&D, and design optimization.

(5) User manual and calibration certificate
(6) Wrench for component adjustments
(1) Secure the shoe heel in the test fixture with proper alignment.
(2) Select the appropriate punch edge and attach to the punching hammer.
(3) Adjust the swing arm and impact energy according to the heel type and standard.
(4) Set the shock frequency on the control system.
(5) Start the test and allow the device to apply repeated impacts until heel failure or preset cycle count.
(6) Record the number of impact cycles endured before heel damage occurs.
(7) Inspect the heel for cracks, deformation, or fracture after the test.
(1) Keep the tester clean and free from dust, debris, or water.
(2) Lubricate moving parts and the swing arm pivot points every 3 months.
(3) Inspect the punching hammer and punch edge for wear; replace if deformed.
(4) Periodically verify impact energy and frequency calibration.
(5) Check electrical connections and the control system for proper function.
(6) Store the device in a dry, stable environment to prevent corrosion.
