English term or phrase: The ball of the foot
Il s'agit de la partie charnue (coussinet) sur la plante du pied, à la base du gros orteil.
Je ne connais pas le terme approprié en français.
Ici l'illustration en anglais des parties de la plante du pied : https://tenni-mocs.com/blogs/tenni-blogs/the-arches-of-the-f...

L'avant pied / les tissus mous plantaires
Explanation:
There are a couple of possibilities as there doesn't seem to be an exact term for it. I've put these two possibilities which were mentionned in this article. The first one would be more suited if you're just using the ball of the foot as a location, but if you are referring to the "coussinets" in particular, then tissus mous plantaires might be better? In a more common context I've always heard it called la plante du pied, but technically speaking thats probably too vague. Hope this helped :)

  -> Regarde la réponse du demandeur, c'est encore plus général. Plante du pied · une longitudinale médiane sur la face plantaire du pied jusqu'à la racine du 2ème orteil, Ou alors le terme anglais n'est pas le bon.
