Adding arch support to footwear does not always require a full-length orthotic. For some products, a compact support pad can target the medial arch while preserving forefoot space and the original shoe fit.
The Ideastep 959 combines an EVA scaphoid pad with a double-sided adhesive layer to provide localized arch support. It is developed for footwear brands, orthotic suppliers, and distributors looking for a simple component for everyday and prefabricated insole applications.

Targeted Arch Support for Flat Feet
Flat or collapsed arches often require additional support around the medial arch. The 959 focuses support on this area without adding material across the entire footbed.
Its scaphoid pad provides a defined support zone while keeping the overall structure lightweight and low profile. This approach works well when a product needs added arch support without significantly changing the shoe’s internal space.
EVA Scaphoid Pad Construction
The 959 uses a straightforward three-part structure:
- EVA core: Provides lightweight structural support
- Scaphoid support zone: Targets the medial arch
- Adhesive layer: Secures the pad inside the footwear
EVA offers a balance of support, flexibility, and low weight, making it suitable for integration into everyday footwear and prefabricated insole designs.
Low-Profile Design for Footwear Integration
A support component should fit the footwear without creating unnecessary bulk. The 959’s compact profile allows it to be incorporated into different shoe and insole configurations.
Common applications include:
- Casual footwear
- Work shoes
- Everyday shoes
- Prefabricated insoles
- Foot-care products
- Customized footwear programs
For manufacturers, the low-profile format also provides flexibility when developing different footwear constructions.
Adhesive Fixation for Easy Assembly
The 959 features a double-sided adhesive backing that keeps the support pad positioned inside the shoe or insole.
This simple fixation method reduces unwanted movement and makes the component easier to integrate into existing production processes. It can also be used when adding arch support to an established insole design.
