padded feet

Quiet animal treads

Padded feet have soft, cushioned undersides—the fleshy pads on the paws of cats, dogs, and other animals that allow them to walk quietly and absorb impact.

The phrase extends to humans moving softly: She padded across the kitchen in bare feet.

Padded footwear has extra cushioning for comfort or protection.
