This is not necessarily true. Only when the heal tapers will its surface area be smaller. The surface area is that which is in contact with the ground. Platform shoes are likely to have the same surface area as normal shoes, and stilettos will have a very tapered heel and therefore small surface area and great pressure per square unit)

Why are high-heels shoes banned from certain types of floor?
It is because the heels n high-heeled shoes have a small surface area. That small surface area can get stuck in certain type of floor like mud because the heels will sink in the mud. You would need flat shoes that have a large surface area to go on floors that are not capable of hold shoes like high-heels.
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.
Does paper have a high air resistance?
No, because the paper has a smaller surface area.
Why is there more pressure under a woman's stiletto high heel shoe than an elephants foot?
Pressure is exactly equal to force divided by surface area. If that fact is true it is because the whole elephants weight (force) is spread out over four feet of relatively large surface area. A womans weight is only on her two (smaller) feet. If she leans on the back of her high heels all the weight (force) shifts to the tiny points of the stillettos. To find out how much more pressure is on the stillettos, just take the weight divided by the approximate surface area of the high heel. But since elephants weigh up to 13000 pounds, about 100 times what a woman weighs the heels would need to be (since only two heels to an elephants 4 feet) about 50 times smaller than an elephants foot to get equal pressure so it seems possible.
Does someone wearing high heels exert more pressure then someone wearing Wellington boots?
The high heels will exert more pressure per unit area (per square inch, per square centimeter, etc.), because they distribute the weight over a smaller area of contact.
Why does a woman wearing spiked high heel shoes can damage a floor more easily than when she is wearing flat shoes?
The pressure (weight per area) exerted on the floor is higher when wearing high heels because the surface area of the bottom of a pair of high heels is much lower than for flat shoes. And higher pressure can do more damage.
What are the different types of high heels?
There are several types of high heels shoes: Stiletto heels; Kitten heels: Cone heels: Prism heels: Spool heels: Wedge heels
Where can you find HEELS?
It depends what heels you mean, high heels, or actuall heels on the back of your feet? If you mean high heels, try some high street stores lots of shops have them :)
