Why is it easier to walk on soft sand with flat shoe than with a pencil heel shoe?

the pressure applied by the flat shoes is evenly/ uniformly divided over the sole of the shoes so the pressure is not acting together at any point its divided
where as with pencil heel shoes the entire pressure is concentrated on the heel hence it sinks.
