When a man stands on the ground his weight (force) is spread over a small area, causing high pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area). When a man lies on the ground his same weight (force) is spread over a larger area, causing low pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area).

When you stand on one foot the pressure you exert is your weight divided by your shoe size?

The pressure you exert when standing on one foot is actually your weight divided by the area of contact between your foot and the ground.
