because I have finally accepted that it might be the shoes and not the 4 different types of pedals that I believed were causing me hot spots.
and because of the 7-9AM 20% off sale at Performance I got these bad boys for $32...

I had hot spots on my SIDI's, to the point where I would take of the shoes and pour water on my feet
Then I chucked the stock SIDI insert and got these;

Now, NO hot foot, and much better power. The stock SIDI are a POS. $45 well spent!
Be sure to go to a specialized dealer for the correct insert. I purchased mine at Surf City cyclery.

Tiff,
I have virtually every pedal style (no eggbeater), so if you want to try other pedals out without buying them let me know.
Mark,
They did not have the Gavia in my size and these (Galibier) ended up being $60...

James let me borrow his Eggbeaters and I really liked them... think my plan for now is to get those. But I'll keep this in mind if they end up not working for me in the future!

How can there be such a significant price difference for the same item? 
Thanks for the heads up... however, I don't think I'll be able to get to it before the auction ends.
