Oh, as a side note, I tried switching from multi-layered socks and tennis shoes to multi-layered socks, leather hiking boots and platform pedals, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Maybe if I had insulated boots it would help.

Did I mention is was freakin' cold?
Sounds like you are using the wrong material, i at most wear two pairs of socks other wise your feet sweat and that makes them colder, try merino or if it get below 0f go neoprene and silk
