Part of shoe that's conforming (6)

I believe the answer is:
instep
'part of shoe' is the definition.
('instep' is part of 'shoe')
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for instep that I've seen before include "Central part of a foot" , "Marching together correctly" , "Part of foot or shoe" , "Foot arch - conforming" , "Arched part of foot" .)
