– Sizing
If Your Stirrup is Right For You . . .
• . . . your foot will sit easily in the middle of it and not rub against the stirrup sides.
• . . . it will mimic your favorite pair of shoes and not cause foot ache or foot fatigue.
• . . . it will rest comfortably against your leg.
• . . . the stirrup’s throat will not bow after time, throwing your foot out of alignment.
• . . . it will fit your foot. Just as we don’t all wear the same size boots, neither is the same size stirrup right for everyone. Just because stirrups came on your saddle does’t mean they fit your foot.
• . . . it should reflect your style and be stirrups that look good to you.
• . . . it allows your foot to slide in and out with ease.
• . . . it will have a treadwidth that feels “right,” neither too bulky nor too skinny.
