This document discusses machines used to test the flexibility and durability of shoe soles. The QINSUNSTM 465 Whole Sole Flex Testing machine subjects shoe samples to repeated flexing to determine how much a cut in the sole grows with flexing. It has three workstations that flex shoes at 140 cycles per minute. Low temperature versions like the QINSUNSTM 465F test flexibility down to -20°C. These machines provide consistent evaluation of sole resistance to flex cracking.
