A method for making foamed sole pads includes the steps of: a) providing a profiled foam blank including at least one blank unit that has a substantially sole shape outline, and that has front and heel portions, a top profiled surface, and a bottom profiled surface symmetrical to the top profiled surface; b) dividing the foam blank along a cutting plane between the top and bottom profiled surfaces to provide at least two foam blank slices; c) bonding a fabric layer to a surface of each of the foam blank slices; d) heating each of the foam blank slices; e) compression molding each of the foam blank slices to form the sole pads; and f) trimming the sole pads.
