I think they may be the most comfortable shoes I own. True there is the ventilation thing, but it's also that your feet can splay out and aren't squished into the confined of enclosed shoes. Maybe it's just because I have small feet that are quite wide at the balls of the feet.<br><br>And yep, I do wear them in winter with jeans.
