velogirl- I've been using the formula of two pairs of wool socks for a couple years now and it works down to the single digits. One pair is thick and the other thin, both Smartwool brand. It seems to work best with the thicker as the base. For shoes I use a pair of cheapie Nashbar mountain bike shoes which have a little insulation built in. My commute's only six miles though which might not be as long as yours.
