Morphology
well-padded + shoe
The meaning is directly compositional: 'well' (to a high degree) + 'padded' (having padding) applied to 'shoes' yields 'shoes with substantial cushioning.' This adjective+noun pattern is a regular, cross-linguistic construction and is immediately inferable by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Well-padded shoes comes from the simple image of shoes filled with soft padding like little pillows around your feet. Because the padded part protects your feet and makes walking gentler, the phrase means 'shoes with extra comfort and support'.
