Experiment tells you: Why there is a bonding gap or crack in your shoes?
September 06, 2018
Does below situation happens to your new shoes with a bonding gap or sole-crack for wearing within a short time? Just as below pictures: What happens? You might say the quality of the shoes is not so well, so where the problem lies in? The reason why this situation appears is that the the flexing resistance of the finished shoes is a failure. The flexing resistance of finished shoes refers to the finished shoes’ durability for the bending or folding under a certain temperature and certain force. General speaking, it’s a repetition twisting process between human foot and shoes. The test standard for shoes flexing resistance: GB/T 3903.1-2017Footwear,Test Method for Whole shoe , Flexing Resistance.This test standard is used for test whole shoes and sole, not suitable for the heel excess 70mm, or the part of sole’s flexing more than 25mm,or the finished shoes with strong stiffness. This is Flexing Resistance Tester: The testing principle of Shoes Flexing Tester is to use a cutting knife cut a crack with specified length of whole shoes or sole, then to do the flexing test under certain angle and rate. After test, measure the length of the crack and at the same time, observe the changes of the joints of the upper surface, the sole and the bottom (including the fence and the bottom wall). Move like this: Is it a similar motion when you are walking? Each test should need not less than a pair of whole shoes or sole. The test bending angle should be (50±1)°, the flexing rate should be (230±10)times/min. The test temperature should be (23±2)℃. Do the test for 40,000.00 circles. As below pictures show: The standard requires the cutting position should be in the middle of the toe flexion of the sole of the shoe, and the sole needs to be cut through. As showed in the pictures: Not all the shoes need the cutting crack in advance, different standards requires different specification. For example: Sneaker (GB/T 15107-2013) It requires not cutting, and it continually bends 40,000 times, the qualified products should not be crack after the bending. The bottom wall, upper bottom the shoe sole should be ≤5.0mm;After folding, the shoe sole shall not have more than 3 cracks, and the longest crack length shall be ≤5.0mm;The sole must not appear Color falling off; air (liquid) cushion should not appear air leakage (liquid) or collapse phenomenon after folding the air cushion shoe. leisure shoe (QB/T 2955-2017) It requires cutting 5.0mm in advance, qualified products require that the length of the cut opening is ≤ 20.0mm after bending. The new crack length is ≤ 5.0mm after folding, and should not exceed 3 places. After the fold, there should be no cracking on the face, cracking or opening the bottom, and is no testing the fold resistance if the shoe size is below 230mm. Natural leather out sole also does not measure wear resistance. Test Results: 1.Number of newly generated cracks and longest new crack length, glue failure length of the bon...
