I'm pretty sure in heels because a lot of the woman's body weight is on the heel. When wearing flats the body weight is more distributed causing less pressure to be exerted.

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.


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

High heels apply more pressure.


Who exerts more pressure on the ground -a kg women standing in high heels or a kg women standing in work boots?

High heels. The downward force in both cases is the weight of the woman. However, in high heels, the force acts on a relatively small area whereas with work boots the area is larger. As a result, the pressure is greater with high heels.Estimates suggest that a woman of average average mass, wearing stiletto heels with an area of 1 cm^2, will exert more than 10 times the pressure exerted by a 4 ton elephant standing on one foot.


Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50 kg woman standing in high heels or a 50 kg woman standing on work boots?

I would think that the woman in high heels would exert more pressure per square inch. All that 50 kg of weight is concentrated onto the small heels of the high heels, whereas with the boots it's spread out around the area of the boots, which significantly lowers the pressure. Put another way, if you go out and try to walk on extremely crunchy snow with the boots, they act like a pair of liferafts on water, in a sense, or at least for a second or two. With the heels, they sink right through the snow.

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.


What do you think about new brand of heels that can be flats?

A brand of heels that can be converted into flats would be a great idea.

Who exerts more pressure on the ground a women standing in running shoes a women standing in skis or a women standing in high heel shoes?

assuming they all weigh the same, they would be equal. if not, the heavier one would be exerting more pressure on the ground. if you are looking for an answer relating to pressure exerted in a specific spot, calculate it by surface area.
