I doubt it.
While there may be some physiological basis to this, In practice, it's over-simplifified and optimistic at best.
I have been on rides where I my core/head were over-dressed and still had cold feet. (not to mention skiing, duck hunting, and just walking thru Chicago winters)
Whatever its due to– extremity, wind+spinning, circulation, shoe-fit....the reality is, feet need special attention to stay warm when cycling in the cold.
