Polypro and riding socks

i have wool socks, but still got very cold toes. actual pain while driving home until they came to. What do you guys wear on your feet for winter riding? my friend wears cotton socks and has zero problems. thought it was my sweaty feet and cold air, but they are dry.
was out for 2+ hours at Case, very enjoyable.
Yesterday I had a bit of an issue with cold feet, I was wearing a pair of polypro socks. Today I wore regular riding socks with the polypros over them, which seemed to keep my feet a bit warmer. The wind was wicked yesterday, but I think today was colder.
Slider wears two pairs of wool socks. My wife was wearing one pair of wool socks with neoprene socks over them. Both Slider and my wife complained of cold feet at some points during the ride. I think sometimes the coldness comes from shoes that are too tight after cramming all the socks in there - cutting down your circulation.
When its really cold (like 11 degrees isn't really cold

) I have some Performance booties I'll wear, but they are only good if you don't have to walk. When you walk in them they get all messed up, the hole for your cleat ends up on the side of your foot or something. The booties will absolutely keep my feet warm though.
