This system is specifically designed for whole footwear flexing, so it tests finished shoes rather than isolated sole or upper specimens. It evaluates how the complete shoe performs under repeated bending, which gives a more realistic view of durability, crack formation, and sole failure during actual use.

Testing full footwear is especially valuable for quality control and product development because it captures the interaction between components such as the sole, upper, adhesives, and construction methods. This helps identify issues that may not appear when testing materials separately.

If you need to isolate material behavior, separate systems are typically used. For example, the GenBally Flex – Related flexing tester for leather, coated fabrics, and footwear upper materials focuses on upper materials, while other methods target sole compounds independently.
