I've found shoe inserts for winter - felt with alu foil on the top side - keep the underside of my foot warm, but remember to loosen the shoelace or else you will not have enough circulation. For the winter I switch my SPD's to normal pedals, then cut a plastic bag to cover the toe-clip. This blocks the wind and the water splash. When it gets a few degrees below freezing I put on heavy-duty booties (Showers Pass), but even these with warm socks don't keep my toes from freezing when it's below -5C
