Abstract
A test apparatus and method for testing a shoe comprises a base, with a shoe fixture for fixing a shoe against displacement, and an actuator, including a shoe contactor, mounted to the movable portion of the actuator connected to the base so that a shoe fixed to the shoe fixture can be placed in alternating stress conditions. The movable portion of the actuator is displaceable between a first position in which the shoe contactor is positioned away from the shoe fixture and a second position in which the shoe contactor is positioned proximate to the shoe fixture to contact and deflect the shoe.
