Hot Spot Question

I've been using Speedplay Zero pedals and SIDI Ergo shoes for about 4 years,

with a gel-based Dr. Scholls insole and that helped me finish the year last
year without much discomfort. *However, the hotspots are back with a
vengeance this summer. *My questions a

1. *Should I just replace the insole, and plan on doing it every 6 months or
so?
2. *Are my shoes, pedals, or cleats the issue (i.e., are any/all just 'worn

3. *Should I be looking at other things - my geometry/fit has not changed at

Any help anybody can recommend is appreciated. *BTW: *I'm 6'4" - 195lbs and

Thanks!

What do you mean by hot spots?

I've been experiencing numbness and tingling, which is, in an
inexplicable way, very painful. My doctor sent me to a neurologist who
said it's a mild form of sciatica. My sciatic nerve is being pinched
between the L5 and S1 vertebrae, and he says this can cause numbness
in the sole of the foot. Now I have to go to physical therapy.

I get the numbness while walking or standing, but it's not that
annoying. It can be excruciating while cycling.

I have a theory that changing my saddle or position on the bike or
both could help a lot. But maybe some stretching and strengthening in
physical therapy are what I need.

I would be nice if Shimano didn't expect those of us with shoe sizes
over 48 to cut off our toes...
