Actually they are only for winter ops. We spend so much time in cold cities with our planes parked out on remote ramps that feet tend to get cold. This way I can wear heavy wool socks to stay warm. Come spring, it's back to the cowboy boots!!

There was a couple of LearJet crashes in the 80's attributed to cowboy boots getting jammed in the rudder pedals:

Thank you, I've been trying to rid cockpits of those filthy things for over almost 2 decades.
