Why not put the bag on over the sock and then foot, sock and bag, into

Same reason I don't put my windbreaker on under my jersey. The
bread-bag trick is for times when you have to wear summer shoes in the
winter; if you buy a special shoe large enough to wear over thick
socks, it might as well be one without ventilation holes.

Joy, if you buy some big burly boots to stomp around in the snow you
probably don't want any ventilation holes :-)
