Air space and circulation are why it works. Anything that limits bloodflow greatly harms the ability to keep that part warm. Most shoes are not foot shaped, but last shaped, so inherently are foot binders (not just cycling shoes, but any shoe). When I went barefoot my foot stayed a size 12 in length and widened to a EEEE. It starts young. Our kids, who have not been in shoes, can't fit into shoes because their feet are foot shaped.
