I think that it is a sizing issue for me. Clipless has resulted in hot spots and terrible knee pain, regardless of the amount of float or cleat position. The biggest cleat shoes that any company makes are still slightly too small for me, and I think the cleat mount is just not in a spot on the biggest shoes to properly acommodate.
Switched back to platforms and mountain running shoes (very stiff sole but very comfortable) and have seen no reason to look back. Not even running toe clips. I might pick some up. I never hammer, though.
