Pressure
If we know the size of the force (F) and the area over which the force is applied (A), then we can calculate pressure using
Here is the outline of a pupil’s shoe, it’s drawn on graph paper so that the area can be calculated quickly by counting the large squares. Each large square is 1 square centimetre – we counted the approximate area by considering only whole squares inside the black outline of the shoe.

Assuming a mass of 50kg, the pressure when wearing these flat-soled shoes is
The red shaded area of our photo shows the reduction in area when heels are worn. With heeled shoes, the area is reduced to approximately 1 square cm per shoe. The change in the pressure is staggering:
