As already stated they stop the feet from sinking plus stop wear and tear on the corner steadies feet when using hard standings ours has a set of interlocking plastic blocks for use on sloping pitches, they are quite cheap easy to fit and no digging around the front locker for bits of wood

they’re cheap as chips and can be found in any accessory shop.
And lying about on many camp sites!
The pads help spread the weight of the caravan onto a larger area of ground. Even on a gravel hard standing the weight will compact the ground over a few days allowing the caravan to rock slightly, which then compacts the ground further - especially in the recent windy spell. The steadys then will need "tightening" if they are to steady the caravan at all.
I have fitted pads, but also almost always use blocks as well to distribute the load a bit more.
