Cold Feet
I have found out that when I ride in the winter and use heated gear, my feet don't get cold. I guess it's when you're core temp starts to fall you have less circulation to your hands and feet...you know the survival of your body thing. As long as I have my heated jacket liner and heated gloves on, my feet just don't get cold with two pairs of socks.

Yes, carhartt will make a difference. I also bought a set of soft lowers from these guys: http://www.airlite.ca/index.php.

I work outside year 'round...down to -30f up here lots this winter. Merino wool socks (ie "Smartwool" brand) are the best I've found and also a hot heated vest will send blood from your torso to your hands and feet for "cooling" which will help keep your hands and feet warm...applying anti-perspirant to the soles of your feet to reduce sweating will keep your feet dryer and warmer...

Yep smartwool or heat packs for your feet from a sporting goods store or Wally world. The wife loved the heat packs, thus happy wife happy life.
