It is because in case of flat shoes, area of contact is larger than area of contact of on sand and hence they do not high heel shoes. Thus flat shoes exerts less pressure sink in the sand but high heel shoes do sink

It's all about pressure.
As we know, Pressure = Force / Area
i.e., Pressure is inversely proportional to area.

In flat shoes it's area is larger so the pressure applied is less but in case of high heels it's area of contact is much less so it's pressure produced over sand is much higher.

That is why, it is easy to walk on sand with flat shoes than with high heel shoes.
