It depends on your definition of "mild temps" and your circulation--whether you get cold feet or not. I live in Anchorage, Alaska, and wouldn't want to use these above 20 degrees. Even that may be pushing it. Sweat-soaked boot liners on multi-trips aren't a good thing. Vapor barrier socks will prevent your liners from becoming sweat-soaked and eventually crusty.
