Answer 2

$<b>It is easy to walk on soft sand if you have flat shoes rather than shoes with small heels because the surface area of heels is less than that of flat shoes. Due to its smaller surface area it exerts a larger force thereby making it difficult to walk easily whereas due to the larger surface area of flat shoes it exerts smaller force, so it becomes easier to walk on the soft sand.$
