For finished shoe evaluation, a whole footwear flexing tester is the better fit because it evaluates the assembled shoe as a complete product. GenBally Flex is the stronger choice when the goal is to compare upper materials, coatings, or leather constructions before the shoe is built, especially for crack resistance and crease failure under repeated bending.

This tester is set up for repeatable material screening. It uses defined clamping geometry, touchscreen control, adjustable cycle counting, and 6-, 12-, or 24-position configurations, so labs can compare uppers under the same flex conditions. It is well suited to leather, coated fabrics, and textile materials used in footwear uppers, and it supports recognized upper-material flex methods for those workflows.

Use a whole footwear flexing tester when you need the result to reflect the finished shoe, including full-shoe bending behavior and sole-related performance. Use GenBally Flex when you need upper-material qualification, supplier comparison, or development-stage durability checks before the shoe is assembled. learn more or request a quote to confirm the right setup for your footwear method.
