Sounds like you're putting too much on that ends up being too tight and cuts off the blood flow.
I used to do that with gloves. Silk baselayer, wool midlayer, winter glove outer. For some reasons my hands were still freezing. Took the wool midlayer out and suddenly I was a lot warmer.
A single pair of wool socks, winter boots and overshoes should be getting you through sub zero temperatures. Hell I was doing that in Finland at near -20 with regular touring shoes.
