The heel pad, located under the calcaneus of human foot, is a hidden treasure that has been subjected to harsh mechanical conditions such as impact, vibration, and cyclic loading. This resulted in unique compartment structure material composition, endowed with advanced biomechanical functions including cushioning, vibration reduction, fatigue resistance, touchdown stability, making it an ideal natural bionic prototype field materials. It shown highly specialized composition pad endows properties hyperelasticity, viscoelasticity, anisotropy. These complex underpin its functions. Although known these interact each other, detailed influence mechanism remains unclear, which restricts application Therefore, this study provides comprehensive review structure, materials, properties, pad. focuses on elucidating relationships between pads proposes insights for materials using prototype. Finally, research idea analyze by integrating sophisticated technologies proposed, aiming provide directions further in-depth inspiration innovative design
