"No thick socks" is a policy I've used for ages after hearing the same advice about not packing your feet in tight as it cuts circulation and causes coldius footus syndrome.
Highly recommend toe-warmers - they plug the front of well vented shoes and keep your feet warm by reducing wind-chill and not circulation.
Also sweat bucket loads.. I almost took a picture of my t-shirt last night. The only dry bit on it was the bottom where it was overhanging my shorts.. the rest looked like I'd jumped into a swimming pool!
