Awesome Except...
I bought these because I was losing circulation in feet with my traditional stirrups if I rode for more than 45mins (and had been for years, I just finally decided to do something about it). These stirrups definitely helped with that and I'm much more comfortable now when I ride. I thought the twist at the top would be good for me too because I've always had a problem with my toes pointing out, but the twist causes them to lay flat against the horse when your feet aren't in them. It makes it incredibly hard to retrieve these stirrups once you've dropped them. My trainer will have me drop my stirrups for a few fences in a course and it's very difficult to pick them up again - this isn't a problem I typically have, and when I went back to my traditional stirrups I had no issue. Just a fair warning! I like them but now that I've used them for a while I wish I had purchased the MDCs without the twist.

Love, love these stirrups!
The wide footbed is so much more comfortable. The added tread is great, especially in wet conditions.

Awesome Stirrups
I have struggled with knee pain for the last two years due to a torn meniscus. I have spent loads of money on different brands of stirrups and none of them have helped me the way these stirrups have. I can finally ride again without pain and constant clicking in my knee. I highly recommend.

so great!!
great stirrups to prevent knee pain when riding often. they are classy looking, and i love the width of the footbed. not too wide that you cant press into your heel but wide enough that your foot stays secure and helps your lower leg stay stable when riding. i find these have really helped relieve my joint pain after riding sessions! i plan to show in these too

Comfortable and stabilizing.
I bought these about 3 weeks ago and I wasn’t sure they would make a difference but I was happy with them on the first ride. My feet and legs fee stable and anchored when I’m riding so I can focus on other areas that need improvement. I’m very pleased.

So Worth The Price!
I was a stanch Compositi rider, I had them on all my saddles for the past 6 years. Well I ran into a big problem two months ago when I was out trail riding on our hiking trails and the stirrup broke in half at the stirrup leather link. I had to jury-rig the stirrup leather into a loop and use that as a stirrup to get home. No more plastic stirrups for this girl, I'm lucky it didn't happen during a cross-country test.
I tried a friend's normal MDC stirrups and I loved how steady my ankle was in them. They were comfy, but I knew I needed some extra give for all the heavy trail riding and eventing I do. The flex gives me the extra softness I need for my knees and hips, but keeps my ankle secure. It's such an easy stirrup to retrieve! I'm human, so sometimes I mess up and my heels aren't down and I lose a stirrup. I can retrieve these within a stride or two, it's amazing! I love them!

Security and flexible support
Love the wide base, great flexion positioning, lots of grip without fastening your foot down (like the cheese graters), and not as lethal seeming (won’t snag or scratch your saddle or clothes like the cheese graters). Won’t chip like the enamel options. Really nice looking!

Help My Joints
These stirrups seem to help my aching ankles the most. They are well made; not too heavy/big and not too light either. They look good in the hunter ring as well!

Really great for supporting my broken angle
I have tried so many stirrups and this is the best so far. I needed flexibility for support of an old injury and this has worked out well.

Great product !!
I bought the stirrups about a few weeks ago. I was nervous about it because the price was a bit high. The thing that attracted me to the stirrups was the grip and flex technology they offered. I was hoping that the extra flexibility would help reduce my knee pain when I ride. The stirrups definitely delivered for me 100%. My knees are doing so much better and my leg position has improved. I feel more secure and balanced during my flat work and over fences. The stirrups were worth every dollar.
