I guess I am just cursed with weird feet. I think I will be trying a pair of moisture barrier socks this winter when it gets down to the single digits.

Mukluks. That is all I wear (with wool socks) in below zero weather and provided you bike with flat pedals they will work fine. I also like that they are not heavy. Good ones are pricey but I have had my moosehide and canvas ones for many years. http://www.mukluks.com/
