For the same leg strength / jumping technique, weight affects how far one can jump.

Acceleration = Force / Mass

With more mass, you cannot accelerate yourself as much when you jump with the same force. Imagine trying to jump with a small backpack full of sand strapped to your back. Your strength hasn't changed. That is, the amount of force you can deliver hasn't changed, but your mass has. You can't jump as high.

Yes because if the shoe is heavy than that means that it will push your body down and you will not jump high but if you have light shoes than that means that you will jump higher.
