ISO 19953:2004规定了测定女鞋后跟冲击强度的试验方法。 该结果评估了在磨损过程中偶尔受到重击时的失效可能性。 尽管本试验方法适用于所有类型的高跟鞋，无论其结构如何，但它特别适用于注射成型塑料高跟鞋，该高跟鞋包含钢销钉加固，提供有关销钉硬度或柔软度适用性的信息。鞋跟由于其形状而具有很高的横向抗冲击性，通常不需要以这种方式进行测试。

ISO 19953:2004 specifies a test method for determining the impact strength of the heels of ladies' shoes. The result provides an assessment of the liability to failure under the occasional heavy blows received during wear. While the test method is applicable to all types of high heels, of whatever construction, it is particularly useful for injection-moulded plastic heels which incorporate a steel dowel re-inforcement, giving information on the suitability of the dowel's hardness or softness. Heels which by virtue of their shape have a high lateral impact resistance do not normally required to be tested in this way.
