Keep in mind if you sweat you stay wet. The wetsuit boots once wet can stay REALLY cold if you sweat. When ice diving my boots freeze solid and we stand in a bucket of hot water to keep warm and get the boots off.
If your boots froze solid, how did your feet feel? The divers socks were discussed on a forum about winter hiking and climbing and many said they worked well. I've tried it this year and it's been warm in the boots although it hasn't been real cold yet.

They also say to spray your feet with unscented antiperspirant and I could see where that might help.
