What I have been doing for years: 1) put my bare feet in produce bags. Put on the socks I would wear anyway. Then another produce bag, Last, the high stretchy men's socks your grandpa used to wear. (One great feature if this system is that your socks stay clean and dry. No sweat, no road grime! And dry socks are the secret to warmth.) When I get home and shower, I don't pull of the inner bags until I step into the shower. Pull them off inside out to start my shower and rinse them. When they dry they are ready for another ride.
Another trick is to have winter shoes like your summer shoes but a full size larger.

Let's say you're at work and have a five mile bike ride home, but you want to stop at a grocery store for half an hour, or perhaps at a bar for a couple hours. What does it feel like walking around indoors with the bag-sock-bag-sock combo? I may try it, but I'm curious to hear your feedback. Thanks.
