If they had smaller feet they would sink more into the snow when walking or running. It's basic physics that weight (force) distributed over a larger area, such as their underfoot in this case, results in less force per point. In contrast if they had smaller feet, their weight would be concentrated on less points, causing their feet to sink more easily.
