Footwear in the manner of shoes therefore primarily serves the purpose to ease locomotion and prevent injuries. Footwear can also be used for fashion and adornment as well as to indicate the status or rank of the person within a social structure. Knitted footwear garment is positioned on a volumetric leg form, in a stretched state, as in wear.

BS EN 13770 describes a method for the determination of the abrasion resistance of knitted footwear garments on samples stretched with a modified sample holder, on a Martindale abrasion machine.

BS EN 13770 is chosen before starting the test and recorded in the test report since the results of the different methods cannot be compared with each other.

BS EN 13770 also describes a testing device and a method for the determination of the abrasion

resistance of knitted footwear garments in a stretched controlled state. This helps the manufacturers in producing high-class, reliable, and efficient products, according to the international norms.
