Résumé : |
The ability of footwear components to absorb perspiration has been widely recognized as essential for comfort. Past methods of measuring this property stopped short of making the distance between the source of moisture and the test material as small as it actually is within a shoe because of the ever present possibility of direct contact between the two parallel surfaces. Earlier attempts to overcome this condition by the use of a plastic mat or of insect screens are described. The problem was finally solved by using a hydrophobic microporous cellulose ester filter, 0.15 mm. thick, which allowed water vapor, but not liquid water, to pass from the moist felt simulating the skin surface to the materials to be evaluated for their absorptive capacity. The procedure that was developed takes into account the fact that this property is more critical for materials used in footwear bottoms than for those in uppers. Most of the work reported, therefore, was done on leather and nonleather insoles which were placed on socks or on materials used for lining shoes. The results are primarily presented in charts illustrating the moisture pickup over five-hour periods. The degree of realism possible by the new method is discussed by comparing it with results of actual wear tests published elsewhere. |
