Fun when you forget that you're on flat pedals eh?
The resulting stack using those adapter plates looks pretty brutal. Walking on stilts.
I've thrown a ton of time and money at this with marginal but appreciative gains. Some said they would choose a different sport. Others recommended to buy an ebike...

Not really. The adapter doesn't add much, it's maybe 2mm thick and Speedpray already have lower stack than other systems. It's probably because the cleat is in the middle it sits so proud of the shoe compared to normal.

I spent months talking to a custom shoe maker in Germany and they failed to deliver anything in the end. I basically now pick shoes with suitably wide soles (normally Shimano although I have Giro for my TT races now) and then get The Bike Whisperer to work out where to drill and do the drilling and baseplate stabilisation and then go for there.
I have two pairs of Shimano shoes I've bought off ebay that I've not got around to getting modified yet. But at some point my current 'beater' shoes will die and I'll need a new pair. It's a pain to do and $$$. I use FiveTens and flat pedals on the MTB and gravel bike now because it's a lot easier (and they're way easier to walk in when needed).
