Because of pressure.
High heels gave small soles. The full weight on a small surface gives a high pressure while the same weight on a larger surface gives a lower pressure.
It's like the difference between poking your finger into the sand or trying to push your fist into the sand.

Why is it better in the snow to wear flat shoes than high heels?
cause you'll sink into the snow
Why do mountain hikers wear snowshoes with walking across areas with deep snow?
Why do mountain hikers wear snow shoes whilst walking over snow?Seems a bit self answering to me, but I'll humour it.They wear snow shoes because there's snow on the ground, and normal shoes would sink into it due to the high weights - surface area given by their current shoes. This' lowered by the snow shoes' greater surface area.
Why snow shoes prevent us from sinking?
It spreads your weight across the snow and therefore your feet don't sink in to where you are standing.
How does using snow skis or snow shoes enable a person to ski or walk on soft snow?
Skis and snowshoes spread a person's weight out so that they do not sink.
Does a woman exert higher pressure on the ground when she is wearing high heels or flat sole shoes?
They both exert the same amount of force theoretically, it's just that the force exerted on the floor by the high-heel spike is more concentrated. High heel - less surface area, more concentrated force. Work boot - more surface area, less concentrated force.
Why do not we skiers sink in the fresh snow?
We do not sink because the skis have a high surface area compared to our feet, therefore we would float on fresh snow.

What advantages do snow shoes have?
Snowshoes help you not sink too deeply in the snow, and it helps hunters run faster than large animals pushing through the snow.
Why is it hard to walk in snow with running shoes?
Running shoes are generally made for firm surfaces. On snow they won't provide as much grip. And of course, if the snow is deep, the running shoes - as any other shoe of the similar shape - will sink straight through. And you'll get snow inside the shoe as well.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50 kg woman standing in high heels or a 50 kg woman standing in work boots?
I would think that the woman in high heels would exert more pressure per square inch. All that 50 kg of weight is concentrated onto the small heels of the high heels, whereas with the boots it's spread out around the area of the boots, which significantly lowers the pressure. Put another way, if you go out and try to walk on extremely crunchy snow with the boots, they act like a pair of liferafts on water, in a sense, or at least for a second or two. With the heels, they sink right through the snow.
