The overall weight that you have to carry is the same. The average pressure is also the same. However, the distribution of the pressure does not need to be the same. You actually have
where is the little bit of pressure below the little surface patch . And it might happen that the pressure is very high in some regions and lower in other regions.
Take a look at the heatmap of the
weight distribution of a saddle . You see that the rider has his weight supported by the horse. But the weight is not uniformly distributed on the horse's back but there are spots with more pressure.
It is the same effect you have when walking with shoes on. The pressure is distributed more evenly and there are no “sharp” points.
