They say, "If your feet are cold, put on a hat." The reasoning is that a lot of heat is lost through the top of the head. That said, my feet can be freezing and my upper body can be hot; it's a challenge!
I put an extra blanket on my feet only at night. It also helps to put a heating pad at foot level to pre-heat the bed; otherwise the bed seems to sap the heat out of my feet.
I wonder if massaging your feet would help increase circulation.
