Most of the air comes from around your feet on aircraft and it is very cold up your leg!
Not so! In most airliners it enters the cabin at the ceiling level and exits through sidewall vents at floor level. There is therefore a certain concentration of airflow around the feet, especially for those sitting in window seats, that may give the impression of air entering the cabin at ankle level...
