IDA Sports is a Houston-based company in the wellness and fitness services sector that concentrates on designing footwear for women athletes. It was founded by Laura Youngson and Ben Sandhu after a high-profile event highlighting gender inequality in sport, and the team collaborated with podiatrists, physical therapists, coaches, and more than 800 female players to develop soccer cleats tailored to women's feet, aiming to reduce issues such as blisters, toe injuries, and pinching from narrow fits. The focus is on addressing fit-related pain points and enabling women to participate in soccer without equipment hindrance. The company serves female athletes seeking equipment that fills long-standing gaps in women's sports gear and positions itself as a specialist within athletic footwear for women. Notable recent developments include the May 2026 launch of a performance cleat designed with Pride at its core, reflecting ongoing product diversification and a commitment to inclusive design. IDA Sports operates with a relatively small to mid-sized team and remains based in Houston, Texas.
