The invention relates to a tester for anti-skid property of soles. The tester comprises a machine body, a loading device, a reciprocating translation device, a transmission device, friction force testing devices, a hoisting device and pressure sensor devices; the two pressure sensor devices are placed on two symmetrical sides of the upper end of the machine body, and consist of bracket sockets and pressure sensors; the loading device consists of a load bracket, a weight and the like, wherein the load bracket is inserted in the bracket socket fixed on the machine body; the two friction force testing devices consist of rotating seats, tension sensors and the like and are placed on one side of the pressure sensor device on the corresponding side respectively; the hoisting device consists of a gantry, a rope winding shaft, a hoisting rope, a unidirectional rotating mechanism and the like and is fixed at the upper end of the machine body, wherein the unidirectional rotating mechanism is connected to the rope winding shaft so as to rotate in a single direction; and the reciprocating translation and transmission devices consist of a translation mechanism and a mechanism for driving the translation mechanism to reciprocate. The tester has the advantages of no need of a pneumatic element, simple structure, low cost, precise measured friction force coefficient, and convenient adjustmentand unloading of the loading device.
