I don't wear sandals - even in warm weather - and they are popular here - I never found them comfortable.. not like I have fungus on my feet, either

This, this, one thousand times this!

If I'm to be frank, I also have a hard time with Oxfords. Never found them comfortable, I generally much prefer "dressy" boots and will only wear Oxfords when absolutely necessary.
