I’m sure everyone has experienced having cold feet. For example, when you’ve been sitting for a long period of time and the blood flow to your legs is poor.
When this happens, and you feel your feet with your hand, the foot always seems to feel much colder than it ought to. In other words, in a room that’s 70F (21C), why do my feet feel more like 45F (7C)? Expecting this has to do with heat capacity, the feet also feel colder than, say, a glass of room temp water.

The temperature at the floor may or may not be significantly cooler than higher in the room. It depends on a lot of things:
Some things that can lead to a cold floor are:
A floor where the under side is that is exposed to cold outside temperatures or cold ground.
A floor with poor insulation.
A heating system that doesn’t circulate the air well (as you mentioned).
But I suspect your feet only FEEL like 45F. If you check them with a thermometer, I suspect they are way warmer than that.
