Cold feet?

It's pretty cold here in Boston but not really that cold(30 degrees). Well, getting to the point, my feet went absolutely numb. I literally could not feel my pedals underneath me at all. Now this may not initially seem that bad but it makes track stands impossible, forcing you to take your feet out of the clips when you stop. When you try to take off you can't tell where your feet are on the pedals, making it EXTREMELY hard to clip back in.

I was wearing two layers of socks ( one layer on nylon type wicking socks and one layer of thick fleece socks) with my Chuck's. Basically I need a more insulation in the shoes(No *****)but I need slimmer shoes so I can clip in easier so that rules out boots of any kind. What do you wear on your feet in the cold?
