Orthopaedic shoes
Hello!
The context of this term is orthopedic shoe insoles. This type of insole is described as "classic" or "traditional". I have seen "jaws" used in English for "Backen", but that does not seem appropriate in this context.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

featuring three flanges
Thanks to the picture provided by Barbara in her reference, I found “flange” (e.g. lateral flange, medial flange, heel cup)

Medial Flange
An increase in the height of the orthosis on the medial side of the device starting just distal to the heel and extending to the distal edge with the apex near the navicular. The height of the flange area of the medial arch varies with the foot shape. This modification also makes the orthosis slightly wider at the area of the medial arch.

Picture + description of "Drei-Backeneinlagen"
Drei-Backeneinlagen bestehen aus thermoplastisch verformbaren Kunsstoffen oder aus Metall. Die Einlagen haben im Bereich des Großzehenballens, des Fersenbeins innen und der Fußwurzel außen jeweils eine sog. hochgezogene Backe, die den Fuß nach dem 3-Punkte-System korrigiert. Bei Metalleinlagen muß die Innenseite mit Lack oder Lederbezug vor Korrision geschützt werden. Diese Einlagen sind in der Regel 3/4 lang und umfassen den Fuß schalenartig und im Fersenbereich. Ihre Vorderkante muß mit einer Lederspitze gegen den Schuh abgepolstert werden, um den Schuh vor Beschädigung zu schützen.
