Test used to measure the resistance of materials used in the upper part of shoes, linings, and insocks (inner sole) to abrasion.
During the test, the material is subjected to controlled abrasion by rubbing it against a specific surface under defined conditions. The objective is to simulate the wear and tear that the material might experience during regular use. The amount of abrasion is measured, and this information helps assess the material’s durability and ability to withstand frictional forces over time.
This test is particularly relevant in evaluating the longevity and quality of shoe components that meet the foot and environment, ensuring that the materials used maintain their integrity and performance even with prolonged use.
