Ive since switched to clipless and dont suffer from this anymore.
I used to when I ran crappy, cheap platforms and/or the wrong footwear. I've upgraded myself over the years to MTB-specific platform-pedal shoes with tacky soles and aggressive (Syncros Mental) pedals and have enjoyed traction that rivals the feeling of being clipped in.
