Answer 1

probably because wood is a better insulator than ceramic or stone. which means you lose less heat to it over time, or in essence, you warm up the wood faster than you warm up the stone in the spot you’re stepping.

the wood and stone are the same temperature, when your foot makes contact, you heat up the first layer of wood, when your foot makes contact with the stone, you need to heat up the first layer of stone and all its buddies beneath it.
