toe pad
Foot finger pad
Toe pads are the soft, cushioned undersides of an animal's toes, particularly prominent in tree frogs and geckos, where specialized structures allow them to cling to surfaces.
In cats and dogs, toe pads are the fleshy pads on the bottom of each toe, distinct from the larger central pad.
The term also applies to cushioning inserts worn inside shoes to prevent toes from sliding forward.
