Humans

It’s not the shoes, but rather from our behavior. When we look down and lift feet higher during shopping, we have a more proper weight distribution.

Common weeds found everywhere. Did you play this the tail? Squeeze the tail repeatedly, it will move. In muscle contraction, myosin head will detach/attach repeatedly to make the movement. Energy is used to detach myosin head while other myosin heads are holding.  

When you pull your fingers, it gets tighter because of increased stiffness. Like shuffled cards. Muscles are acting the same way using a force (weight by gravity). Actin-myosin bridge bindings will get tighter by compressive force from stretch. This is how eccentric contraction gets powerful. Residual force enhancement comes from this.

One man is pouring water to sandy ground. Each rope will pull the sleigh from different directions: reacting friction force is weak from the collapse of sand. Poured water will harden the sand.

Enough number of connected blocks can pull a large/heavy block of granite, even uphill. Same principles can be applied for standing up large statues.  

They appear to be soft and gentle. Slow shifting of weight support between legs. For optimal stiffness for balance, they need stiff arm/shoulder/back for balance. We can avoid abdomen contraction to allow diaphragmatic breathing. They are stiff in the back.  

It is very similar to a penguin waddling. Low COM requires the hyperextension of the upper body/head/arms. They put their hands up for a higher COM to make better balance. They use toe-walking for a strong ES/PS and a higher COM.  

It is energy efficient. It requires no extra energy up to 60 lbs. Adding weight to the load on the head will not require any more energy because all we need is the energy for leg lifting. Balancing will be easier b/o higher center of mass (COM).
