when i swim in the lakes or ocean with water temperatures below 55F, with a wetsuit, my feet and toes are so cold they hurt the whole swim. anything you can do, with the exception of booties which are not legal and don't do a whole lot anyway?
Why not contact "grumpy tuna," who seems to be a race director (organizer?) for Alaska and knows lots of cool things?
I'd be concerned about chilled blood returning to the heart. Presumably a wetsuit helps.

Here is a neat site, GoMoos, on Maine's ocean waters, including an index for telling when whales will calve (it's based on data gathered in various places, such as Portugal). I've never known Maine waters to be anything less than frigid, but apparently they sometimes are, and this can be predicted a year in advance, from a different index turning positive or negative.
