NB: the heat sink transfer can be a side effect making your feet colder because the cold metal is right under your foot.
not used them, I haven't screwed on my SPuD pedals on in a long time. (not even sure I can find those shoes, since I moved)
I have a long history of riding in the coldest days in Minnesota winters; and I love my
Wölvhammer ; but they are pricey and could be overkill for many riders.
I've used nylon platform with hiking boots; and Eggbeaters with MTB shoes with covers, and Wölvhammer. With standard cycling shoes and shoe covers, the heat sink issue can be a factor. However, with Wölvhammer boots I've never have an issue.
Also for the heat sink issue look at insulated insoles -

This was the Fatbike Frozen Forty, 47 miles of icy single-track took 6 hours with temps around -10F at the start.... warmed up to 10F by the end of the ride. The only time my feet were cold was at the end of the ride when I was standing around waiting for prizes - there was NO WAY I was leaving before they had the drawing for the CF fatbike frame (I didn't win it).
