Chemical foot warmers.

Try this...

http://www.hotronic.com/products/fw/index_m4.html

If that doesn't work, then move to California, Arizona, or Florida.

If that doesn't work, then wait till it gets warmer outside.

Move to Southern Arizona and ride after 10am in the winter. Seriously,
it could be circulation and the fact you may be underdressed on the rest
of your body. Peripheral ciculation is therefore restricted to maintain
core temperature. It doesn't appear to be a lack of foot insulation.

If your fingers and toes are cold, put on your hat.

HOTRONICS. These will change your winter training life. You can ride
for hours at any temperature with no worries about your feet getting
cold. Once I got these, my feet stayed warm, and my hands never got
cold either. It's as if once I had my feet taken care of, the other
extremities were fine too.

Sounds stupid but...............

Assuming you have room in your shoes,
I use 2 socks, thin cycling socks and then a pair of DeFeet Woolie Boolies.

You know how distance swimmers use something like Crisco on their skin to
keep from freezing in the 60 degree water?

I use a thick lotion like Lubriderm on my Arms and legs, face, hands very
liberally. Works very well to keep from wearing too much just to pack it
later...

I have also found out that rubbing lotion on my toes too (don't laugh!!) has
the same effect. If I need more I just add neoprene toe warmers. Layers is
what works.
