This two-station walking simulator (GS-2 3060/1) has been designed to assess water impermeability of completed footwear.

The shoes are flexed in a water tank. The carrier is inserted in the shoe in such a way that only the forepart can be flexed in the joint area (flexing angle: 30°; flexing frequency: 35 +/-2 flexes per minute). During flexing, water penetration can be detected either by means of an endoscope or by measuring the electric resistance (resistance meter to be ordered separately). Appropriate carriers are required for operating this machine (see accessories).
