Yes, factory speedplay. I took a look and it does seem I would have to go with a custom build, which is a bit out of my price range. Shimano and Sidi are all I've really found.. I just cracked the sole of my current Shimanos, but will probably go with Sidi if I can't find a native 4 hole shoe.

I've been using an adapter so far, but was hopeful I could take advantage of the mythical stack height reduction since I need new shoes anyway.

I don't believe they make 16s or that's what I would be getting.

I appreciate this, it's hard enough finding 16s in regular shoes, let alone a sport not really known for giants.
