1. Test items
Upper material test:
Breathability is the key. Professional instruments are used to simulate the human sweating environment to test whether the upper can quickly discharge moisture and keep the feet dry.
Tensile strength test: Consider the tear resistance of the upper material when under stress to avoid the upper from breaking due to sudden pulling during exercise.
Sole performance test:
Slip resistance is crucial. The friction coefficient of the sole is tested on simulated ground with different degrees of dryness, wetness and smoothness to ensure that it is not easy to slip when walking or running. For example, basketball players frequently change direction and stop suddenly, so the sole needs to have super anti-slip performance to ensure safety.
Cushioning effect test: Use an impact tester to simulate the impact force of landing, measure the residual impact force after the sole is buffered, and judge its ability to protect the feet and knees. Sole bending performance test: Observe the fatigue degree of the sole after repeated bending to ensure that the sports shoes can move flexibly with the feet and are not easy to break.
2. Testing methods
Instrument simulation method: Use professional equipment such as air permeability testers, wear testers, impact testers, etc. to simulate various actual use conditions and accurately obtain the performance data of the upper and sole.
Field testing method: Let athletes or volunteers wear sports shoes for testing in real sports scenes, record feelings and problem feedback, such as testing anti-slip and shoe fit on the basketball court.
Physical measurement method: Use calipers, hardness testers and other tools to measure parameters such as sole thickness and hardness to determine whether they meet the design requirements.
3. Testing standards
International standards: ISO and other international organizations formulate unified specifications, covering basic requirements for material safety and performance, which are convenient for global sports shoe brands to follow and promote international trade.
National standards: my country has refined them according to national conditions, clarified quality standards for different sports events and consumer groups, and protected consumer rights.
Enterprise standards: In order to highlight their advantages, big brands set higher standards in material selection and process details, such as using environmentally friendly high-performance fabrics and unique sole technology.
4. Significance of testing
Ensure sports safety: Strict testing ensures the reliable performance of sports shoes, reduces the risk of sports injuries, and allows people to exercise with confidence.
Improve wearing experience: Choose comfortable and suitable shoes to meet daily travel and sports needs and improve the quality of life.
Promote industrial progress: Promote corporate innovation, develop new materials and technologies, improve the overall competitiveness of the industry, and lead the fashion sports trend.
