Test used to measure the available space or volume inside the toe area of a completed shoe. This test provides information about the roominess and fit of the shoe’s front portion, where the toes are situated.
During the test, the shoe is filled with a material that conforms to the shape of the shoe’s internal space, typically a material like foam or grains. The volume of the filling material is then measured, which gives an indication of the internal space within the toe area.
This test is important in assessing the comfort and fit of the footwear, especially in the toe region. It helps ensure that there is adequate space for the toes to move naturally and comfortably without feeling constrained. Proper toe area fit is crucial to prevent discomfort, blisters, and other foot-related issues caused by restricted movement within the shoe.
