Socks make a big difference. I'll wear super tall socks on cold days. I feel like keeping my lower legs warm helps keep the blood to my feet warm.
I have a pair of raceface Chester pedals.
I could just switch, but I would have to use some tools.

Aluminum is about as bad as it gets for heat conduction, but I tend to agree that with proper boots, shouldn't be a big issue, hiking boots are usually going to be thick enough to have enough sole that doesn't transmit heat well. The thing is usually finding ones with relatively flat soles, which isn't that hard.
I can’t imagine pedals being colder than the air that’s around them. That being said, I had some cheapo HT plastic pedals and they were absolutely fantastic for years, so I don’t see a good reason not to use them.
Feet haven't been cold once this season. It seems my solution is to blow up your shoulder and stay home.
One thing, resin gets brittle in the cold. My little varia arm snapped off after my recent ride fail, which was All of 30 minutes out in 28f. Resin pedals may absorb less heat from ya feet, but they may also break more easily.
These things are great for two-hour rides.
