Part of the reason for different shoes for MTB and road is the cleats - smaller cleats for mtb are less likely to clog up with mud etc. however they have a smaller contact point with the shoe so hot spots are more likely. But on an MTB you tend to pedal less of the time so its not such an issue.
However if using MTB shoes on a road bike you pedal for much longer without a break so hotspots become more pronounced.
You can generally get a more precise fitting for a road cleat than an mtb one because it is more important.
I would suggest you try and adjust the cleat alignment, possibly a foot bed will help.
Even better ignore all the online diagnoses and see a professional

i am getting bored of one of my sram brake levers rattling - i have two on the bike but only a front brake, the levers are unsprung, so the one that is not in use rattles.
I was thinking it might be worthwhile to make both levers operate the front brake but cannot remember the name for the brake cables that enable you to use two levers to operate one brake

You can find the knipex ones cheaper from hardware outlets.
Bike shops stick a mark up on them.
