I don't like the cold and I get cold easier than everyone I ride with.
So, I have tried nearly every kind of combination: wool socks, waterproof socks, roadie shoe covers, mtb shoe covers.
Other than buying winter mtn shoes that are waterproof, the only way I have found to really keep the water out and keep my feet warm is buy using Pearl Izumi's Elite Barrier shoe cover. These things are EXPENSIVE.

Remember to put some duct tape on the inside of your shoes to cover where the cleat attaches.
When it is really cold, I get the chemical toe warmers.
I rode last night in 9 degree Fahrenheit weather, I wore wool socks, waterproof socks over that, my shoes, and then the Elite Covers. I did not wear toe warmers though I should have. My toes started to get cold after two hours of riding.
I have found that Road shoe covers let water in and my feet do not stay warm. When you go through a puddle, water would hit the bottom of my feet and go up and around the sides of my shoes, inside the shoe cover.
I don't do sub-60 degree weather. I just bought (an expensive-for-me) bike and I've been itching to ride it. The weather was not cooperating, so I went out and bought some gear that ended up allowing me to ride without freezing my nuts off. Buy this stuff and you'll love < 60F - > 10F

Add a jacket, some gloves, and a facemask...

I usually sport these with wool socks in the winter, but my feet also still feel too cold.
