SW of Boulder you have a few trails that you could combine into a loop. I've done those many times.
You can start the hike from here for example:
2350-2432 Cragmoor Rd, Boulder, CO 80305 (Google Maps:
39.968656,-105.263094)
Cragmoor-Hardscrabble Trail
N Fork Shanahan
Shanahan-Mesa
Hike up on Fern Canyon Trail to the peak
Follow the trail back down going ...

as far as the issue of warmth - they do make special five-finger, wool socks for the VFF that fit perfectly with the shoes. I've combined these and they work great in cold weather. the only time i ever had a bad experience in my VFF was walking several miles on asphalt. trails with rocks, streams, mossy paths - no problem.
