SCOPE
This test method is intended to determine the resistance of the heels of women’s shoes to the repeated impacts that occur in normal walking. The method is applicable to all types of slender heels from women’s shoes, but is particularly useful for moulded plastic heels incorporating a tension pin or steel dowel for reinforcement.
PRINCIPLE
A heel is clamped around its seat and blows of fixed magnitude are applied repeatedly near the tip in a forward direction until failure occurs. The number of blows required to cause failure and the type of failure are recorded.
