ISO International Standard

ISO 22650:2018 specifies a method for the determination of the heel attachment of footwear. It applies to woman’s medium and high heeled footwear.

This test method measures three related wear properties:

– the rigidity of the shoe backpart during normal walking;

– the amount of permanent deformation of the backpart caused by a fairly large force applied to the heel in a backward direction;

– the force required to detach the heel.
