Resistance of shoe to warm conditions

RESISTANCE OF SHOE TO WARM CONDITION 

















































What does it test
:

It tests the increase of temperature in the interior of shoe, when whole shoe is exposed to warm (rather hot) environment – sand. Depending on the type of footwear, the temperature of sand is between 150 and 250 degrees Celsius. At the same time the resistance of footwear sole is tested to warm/hot environment. Just soles can also be tested, but without measuring the increase of temperature – just deformations on the sole, caused due to exposure to warm/hot conditions.


Why is it important:

Professional footwear is exposed to many heavy conditions, including warm/hot temperatures. Whole footwear should have the capability to protect the feet of wearer, when being exposed to warm/hot temperatures of surfaces. The sole of the shoe should at the same time retain its characteristics, without melting and other deformations.
