Custom orthotic insoles often need different levels of support and cushioning across the heel, arch, and forefoot. A dual-density material gives manufacturers more flexibility than a single-density block when building these functional zones.
Ideastep EVA Dual-Density Milled Blocks are designed for custom orthotic insole manufacturing. The EVA block combines two density levels and can be milled and contoured using CNC equipment based on foot measurements, 3D scan data, or digital designs.

Dual-Density EVA for Custom Insole Design
Different areas of an insole may require different levels of firmness. A firmer zone can be used where more structural support is needed, while a softer area can provide additional cushioning.
The dual-density construction can be incorporated into custom designs for:
- Arch support
- Heel cushioning
- Forefoot cushioning
- Flat-foot insole designs
- High-arch insole designs
This allows manufacturers to develop different support zones without using a uniform material throughout the entire insole.
Designed for CNC Milling
The milled block is a semi-finished material rather than a ready-to-use insole. It can be processed through CNC milling and contour shaping to create the required insole profile.
Manufacturers can adjust the shape according to:
- Foot measurements
- 3D scan data
- Digital foot models
- CAD designs
- Specific insole requirements
A typical production workflow is:
Foot Measurement or 3D Scan → Digital Design → EVA Milled Block → CNC Milling → Contour Shaping → Finished Custom Insole
This makes the material suitable for digital custom insole production where each design may differ.
Support for Different Foot Areas
The dual-density structure can be used to build different characteristics into specific areas of the finished insole.
Arch: The material can be shaped to create customized arch profiles for different foot types, including flat feet and high arches.
Heel: EVA provides lightweight cushioning and can be shaped to form the required heel structure.
Forefoot: The forefoot section can be contoured according to the footwear and insole design, with EVA providing cushioning and flexibility.
The final structure depends on the foot data and design requirements of each project.
Applications in Custom Footwear
The material can be used for custom orthotic insole production across different footwear categories, including:
- Athletic shoes
- Casual footwear
- Work footwear
- High-heeled shoes
- Custom orthotic insoles
The insole profile, material hardness, and density configuration can be selected according to the intended application.

OEM and ODM Customization
For different production programs, Ideastep offers customized hardness and color options. The blocks can also be developed around specific foot data and processing requirements.
Key options include:
- Customized hardness
- Customized color
- Foot measurement and 3D scan data compatibility
- CNC milling and contouring
- OEM and ODM production
The MOQ starts from 50 pcs, making the material suitable for product development as well as larger custom insole programs.
