Well, yeah, I wear wool pants under them. 3 hrs in steady cold rain - sounds like the acid test!

A thick set of neoprene socks from cabela’s solved my cold feet issue. They are for fishing(i think) and with another pair of wool type ski socks my feet don’t get cold down to the twenties.I also have some thin side toe covers.
When it gets down in the teens I throw in some Altura shoe covers that were at round 20$. They work great and aren’t that fun getting on.

Credit where due, I swiped the aluminum foil trick from a GCN video. Made sense and seemed as if it'd be less likely to trap moisture than plastic bags.
Now I'm thinking of making some inserts or wraps from cheap metallized "space" blankets -- those shiny thin rescue blankets that can be bought for less than $5. Same principle, thinner, probably more durable and easier to improvise for various shoes and socks. A single rescue blanket would provide plentyof material to experiment with.
