I try to wiggle my toes as much as possible when cycling. It definitely helps. I also wear water proof socks which also helps.
@oldfart - try flats, big thick merino bridgedales, walking shoes (winter full leathers). Not tight. You could get away with a very thin merino liner sock too if you can fit it in without having to wedge your foot in.
I find five tens cold (impact pro) - in fact if it wasn't for the fact that they're comfy and really grippy I'd ditch them straight away because I hate literally everything else about them (construction, look, material, the fact they stay wet forever).
Heated socks. Might be late sage capitalism, but they absolutely work.
flat pedals and 5 10s to avoid the SPD heat sink , feet still like ice blocks
no matter what anyone thinks, metal cleats + metal pedals is a big fat heat sink.
Switching to plastic flat pedals made a massive difference for me a few years ago. My metal pedals would end up with ice round them that sucked the heat out of my feet, never had it happen with plastic ones.
would just like to say, i was out for a 2 hour ride this morning at 6.30am. it was minus 4.
i was wearing what i stated earlier. and i was nice and warm the whole ride, apart from my ear lobes, which were sticking out from under my buff.
