foot pads

Pedestrian road bandits

Foot pads are the thick, cushioned undersides of an animal's paw—the tough, leathery surfaces that absorb impact when a dog or cat walks.

The term also applies to adhesive pads humans stick to the soles of their feet, marketed for comfort or detoxification: These foot pads claim to draw out toxins while you sleep.
