I think it was the single digit windy mornings along the Hudson River and over the Brooklyn Bridge combined with the open weave on the top of my shoes -- not the tightness of fit.

I'm loathe to go out and buy another pair of shoes for the 10-15 days of really cold stuff I have to face. Riding is expensive enough as it is. But come next Christmas, if I've been a good Hambone, maybe Santa...
