About This Product
Outsoles of footwear can crack in use at points of high surface strain, even when no cut has started the crack. A belt flex test bends the whole sole repeatedly on a belt, with a short period of rapid flexing followed by a longer rest, much as happens at each step. The sole is examined for cracking at the end of each run, so the result gives a guide to the risk of cracks developing in use. Students can see how the sole pattern affects cracking.
