insole board


Explanation:
Maybe this is what they're referring to:
---
Inlay Sole/Insole Board
The shoe incorporates a specially developed, contoured inlay sole that is removable for quick drying. The insole board is the chassis of every soccer shoe. A traditional insole board is flat, whereas our inlay sole, based on the anatomy of the foot, is contoured, mirroring the shape of the foot.

Board Lasted
Board lasted shoes have a sturdy insole board running the entire length of the footbed. This type of construction provides the greatest stability.

the top part of the shoe


Explanation:
It probably means the top part of the shoe into which the foot goes, the part above the sole and heel.

The meaning of orthotic is explained here. I don\'t this chassis refers to orthotic. More likely, Kim\'s suggestion of insole board is correct.

A removable chassis can also be the wheels part of inline roller skates, but this sounds more like work shoes or work boots.

agree  Balasubramaniam L.: But I want you to also check the meaning given in answers.com. I have posted it also in my answer. It talks about support for abnormal feet, whereas this one seems to be for shoes in general.
8 mins
  -> In these days of high tech shoe design, orthotics are not just used for abnormal feet, but to support the feet of those who must be on them all day long. I think these are work boots.

agree  Robert Donahue (X): I agree wholeheartedly. Note the references to "all day comfort" and to inhibiting bacteria growth. These are important features for those on their feet all day.

Orthodic denotes prescription


Explanation:
It probably is one, but I would use "support" instead, or even "platform" as they are refering more to comfort and odor than orthotic corrections.
