Don't roll with a pig in poo. You get covered in poo and the pig likes it.
One thing I noticed on Sunday on my ride, how cold my feet were compared to when running. I didn't immediately notice it, but when I got in a hot shower they were stinging like buggery...
I was also wearing running trainers.
I also wear covers over my shoes. My winter shoes are half a size too big which enables me to wear a thicker sock or even two pairs without restricting circulation.
Cycling shoes are generally tight fitting and I think that lack of circulation amplifies the discomfort caused by the cold.
For real wet and cold winter conditions I treated myself to a pair of North Wave Arctic Celsius 2 GTX boots, although pricey, are worth their weight in gold!
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Flipping heck, they cost more than innov8s

Overshoes are a godsend. Also have some mavic winter shoes - gore-tex and thermal. Toasty but expensive....

But unlike running shoes they don't seem to wear. I've had mine for 4 winters and they are as good as new. I just give them a wipe to get any salt/road dirt off and they are ready to go again.
I've not even had to replace the SPD cleat yet and if I do it'll be no more than a fiver.
Get some on your Christmas list Moley!
