Seems like footwell heaters is an expensive way to make up for a lack of a little insulation.
In any case, the practical solution is thick socks, open up foot vents, and run the seat back so you can get feet up off the floor.
I agree 80 isn't enough... Again, with all vents open and staying ahead on the heat, the 84-86 degree range can be obtained and makes things tolerable. I believe the air circulation is the key. Once the ducts get cold, game over.
