The biggest drawback of regular summer shoes for biking is that they attempt to design them to let air flow through them. The irony is that they're often not very good at that, while at the same time being just bad enough at it to make it difficult to use in the winter.

My experience was that it was worth buying even just a light winter shoe as they're designed with no airflow vents on the shoe because it's for winter. From there you can regulate how warm your feet stay with thicker pairs of socks - "Fits Socks" worked very well for me personally:
