Purpose. Make a reasonable choice of companion upper materials for the manufacture of orthopedic shoes based on the analysis of physical and mechanical characteristics. Methodology. By standardized methodologies defined the values of strength and elasticity of the upper materials for orthopedic shoes, the influence of the contact area on the efforts of delamination of hook and loop fastener was defined. Results. A study and comparative analysis of the semi - and single-cycle tensile characteristics of upper materials of orthopedic shoes allowed to pick up materials - companion of different backgrounds with similar values of strength and shape stability. Originality. To improve the dimensional stability of the shoe upper suggested target change by termo duplication of materials - companion with different values of tensile materials to the same values. Practical value. Was made the choice of materials - companions with similar physical and mechanical for top details of form-stable orthopedic shoes characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
