Chris, you give us no clue as to how cold you are talking about (50F?, 10F?), or whether you ride with clipless pedals or not.
I use plain old flat pedals with straps, and I wear insulated hiking boots to bike through the winter, I get them a half size larger than usual and wear a couple of nice thick wool socks in them....that's pretty good for a 1-2 hour ride at 25-30F degrees or so.

I just got some PI Calientoes...with Smartwool socks, my toes are staying nice and toasty! But it's been relatively warm here...not sure how warm they would keep my toes if it was in the low 30's.

I hear you! I did my first winter ride on Saturday, and my feet went numb an hour in. I had to be really carefull unclipping; gave myself plenty of extra time. As soon as I got home and thawed out, it was off to buy booties and wool socks. I didn't think I would need such acoutrements in N. California, but I was incorrect. The wind and dampness did a number on my toes!
Be yourself, to the extreme!
