Because flat shoes have a much wider base than pointed heels so they spread your weight out more, to you walk more on top of the sand, like snowshoes. Whereas pointed heels have a very narrow base that causes you to sink into the sand a bit more, making it a little like walking in quicksand.

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.


If you wear pointed heals in one leg and slippers on the other legwhich leg exerts more pressurExplain?

The leg with the pointed heels exerts more pressure because the pointed heel concentrates the force over a smaller area, increasing the pressure on the ground. This can lead to discomfort and potentially affect posture and gait.


If we wear high heels in one leg and sleepers in another leg which exerts pressure more preesure to the ground?

The leg wearing high heels would exert more pressure on the ground due to the smaller surface area in contact with the ground compared to the leg wearing sleepers. This pressure is distributed over a smaller area, increasing the force exerted on the ground.


Does someone wearing high heels exert more pressure then someone wearing Wellington boots?

Yes, someone wearing high heels may exert more pressure because the weight is concentrated on a smaller surface area compared to Wellington boots, which distribute the weight more evenly. This can result in higher pressure on the ground.


Why is it difficult to walk with a narrow and a high heels on a soft ground?

Walking on a soft ground with narrow and high heels is difficult because the narrow heels can easily sink into the soft surface, causing instability and making it harder to balance. The narrow surface area of the heels also creates less support and weight distribution, which can lead to more pressure on certain points of the foot, making it uncomfortable to walk.
