Do any of you find you get hot spots or hot foot from the frogs? I am looking for pedals for new bike - thought about crank bros mallets - or campus pedal so I could ride either way.

I have Crankbrothers Quattros and I'm having some trouble with hot spots. However, I choose to blame my shoes, which I think are too small. I just don't think it's the pedals. There is such a nice large pedal platform and the way the cleats are recessed, I don't see how the hot spots could be from the cleats themselves.

I have road shoes but you get pretty good traction from the plastic/rubber thingie that goes around the cleat.
Here's a link that shows the Quattro cleat and surrounding plastic/rubber part:

hot spots
I think hot spots are due more to the shoe, and the way it fits or should I say, in the way they DON'T fit. But perhaps even moreso, they are due to the the socks you are wearing. I have been wearing some older socks lately that seem to be better wicking and have not had hot spots in a long time. Unfortunately the socks are so old - just regular white tennis type socks - that I don't know what brand they are or anything.
