Chemical toe warmers, anyone?

Just wondering who uses chemical toe or foot warmers for cycling in cold weather.
I'm trying to resolve some cold foot problems, playing around with positioning of the toe warmers to figure out what is most comfortable. I have good warm booties (Gore Windstopper with fleece lining) but the metal Speedplay X cleats on my shoes get cold and make my feet cold, even when I wear thick Woolie Boolie socks.
I'm told that it's important to take the the chemical warmers out of the package to activate them about 30 minutes before riding. Also I've heard that you have to make sure there's enough room in your shoes to keep them from getting scrunched -- one friend addresses this by placing them outside her shoes, between the shoes and the booties.
How do you wear toe/foot warmers -- under your toes, on top of them, on your ankles, other? Any tips for maximizing their effectiveness?
