Finished Shoe Water Resistance Testing Machine A specialized testing instrument designed to evaluate the water resistance of fully assembled footwear, ensuring protection against water penetration under real-world conditions. This machine simulates scenarios like walking through puddles, rain exposure, or submersion, testing the integrity of seams, materials, and waterproofing technologies in finished shoes.
Equipped with adjustable water pressure, immersion depth, and duration settings, the tester assesses critical performance factors:
Water penetration at seams, zippers, or lace eyelets
Resistance of waterproof membranes (e.g., Gore-Tex) under pressure
Durability of water-repellent coatings after repeated exposure
Performance of soles and toe caps in wet conditions
Compliant with international standards such as ASTM F2219, ISO 20345, and SATRA TM140, this equipment is vital for footwear manufacturers, outdoor brands, and quality control labs. It ensures that finished shoes—including hiking boots, rain boots, work shoes, and winter footwear—meet industry benchmarks for water resistance, reducing customer complaints and enhancing product reliability in wet environments.
