Yes it will help a lot. Just put a sandwich bag over your sock,over your toes, under you shoe. Some of the shoe covers are fleece lined and neoprene, they are even warmer. The performance brand ones are good. If it's very cold you may need both, or more, it depends on what kind of riding you are doing and how long you are going to be out. It also depends on the temperature.
