You've probably heard/read this before but you might want to just try riding un-attached. I gave up attached pedaling about seven years ago and once my leg muscles were retrained I found it liberating and I kept track of my times on familiar routes with no average time differences. In fact, some of my fastest were with my Teva sandals and BMX style platform pedals. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for fixed gear pedaling but for everything else I do. At first I had a few foot slips because my legs had become "lazy" being attached but I soon adapted and haven't been sorry since, not even once......plus I get to wear any shoes even my work boots when I'm riding places where I happen to want work boots on. I used to get those hot spots too which is why I quit using clip ins and even my old school slotted cleats and toe clips.....too many foot problems.
