Reduce the wear and tear, yes, but the critical issue is how much weight per 
square meter in placed on the surface the ship is resting on. Too much 
Kg/m^2 and ship sinks into the surface producing various problems. Pad size 
vs total ship mass is somewhat more important than what the pad/leg is made 
from (given, of course, that what is made from can also take the pressure).
