The next thing to check is an abnormal foot tilt, which is the most common cause of hotspots. Someone at home can check the bottom of his feet with a straight edge. A free homemade wedge or one that costs a few bucks can fix that. I had hotspots with all my pedals and shoes, including Speedplays. After listening to people on the internet and throwing a lot of money down the drain with suggestions of new shoes and pedals, moving my cleats back and a wedge for my jacked up left foot is what fixed it. You need to check the free stuff before you go out blowing money on new shoes and pedals when you have no idea at all if that will fix it.
