I had a nice three hour ride the other day. It was 15 degrees f. I was not cold I just had to come home for something else. On my feet I have at this temp...

fleece socks

chemical toe warmer under toes, in shoe. Only below about 20 f, Shoes not laced too tight.

small sandwich bag over toes.

cycling shoes

larger bag over front of shoe

huge stretched out size 13 socks.

plastic bag, just the front.

neoprene bike shoe cover lined

plastic bag

another neoprene shoe cover

Flat pedals not clipped in no cleats.

this has been working for years. It's as warm as my heavily insulated Sorrel boots, but it's very light and easy to pedal with. I can go for six hours in this temp On the MTB in the snow.
