All of the person's weight is concentrated into the small area of the bottom of the heel.
100 pounds pressing on a heel with a 1/2 square inch area produces 200 pounds of pressure per square inch-- enough to make a dent. whereas a 200-pound man whose heels have a 6 square inch area, produces only 33 pounds per square inch against the floor.
The majority of your body weight is carried by your heels. With a standard shoe it has more surface area to disipate your bodies weight over a larger area. When wearing high heels the surface area is dramatically reduced and total weight is focused on such a small point. Most floor installers will recommend not wearing pointy heeled shoes on soft composite floors.
