Cold feet: Circulatory problems are the most common culprit for cold feet. Blood must travel a long way to get from the heart to your feet, and there could be many factors causing it arrive more slowly (or with less volume). If you are a smoker, this is one of the largest factors. It could also be caused from the way you are sitting if it is for a prolonged period of time. Or just wear thicker socks.

Nerve or blood flow: If actually cold, could be a vascular disorder such as raynauds disease. If feel cold but skin is actually warm to touch, it could be peripheral neuropathy. See your physician.
