cushioned socks

Soft-soled hosiery

Cushioned socks have extra padding, typically in the heel and ball of the foot, for comfort and impact absorption during walking or athletic activity.

The cushioning comes from thicker fabric or layered construction: I always wear cushioned socks when I run.

They're a staple of athletic and work footwear.
