Going to get my 3rd pair soon. If you've read other reviews, you might be left scratching your head. It's obvious how they go on your saddle, with stirrups, you want your feet flat, not twisted to the side. And they are not "wide." Look at the description, clearly tells you exact sizing of the strirrup. I am not one for anything heavy or oversized, have a narrow foot, am a female rider, and I find these to be just the right weight and width. I use them with a twist in the stirrup by the saddle maker and they keep my foot flat and straight. I get no leg or foot fatigue. I used to use those super deep endurance stirrups made for comfort and I find the Don O.'s to be far superior. The more surface area there is, the more my foot would go numb. With less surface for the ball of my foot (just enough instead), I get no numbness. I did add some grippy pads to the leather cover for a bit of "stick." And spinkled some black glitter into the engraving. It comes matte black otherwise. Other that that, they are beautifully made, got a few made of exotic woods, one with an engraving of the type of rare British native draft pony that I ride. I have another glossy black pair coming soon with a new saddle. Exciting to see how it will all turn out. The company was amazing with all the detail I asked for in my engraved pair. I created a clipping path on my own, sent them the image and it's spot-on. I will include a photo of the first pair I received with a custom Allegany Mountain Saddle. Photo credit to Oregon Horse Center, National Mountain Trail competition 2020 - proof these aren't just pretty, they are highly functional with super technical, dicey riding.
Can’t ask for a better stirrup. My second set and will be purchasing more if I ever need to. 🤠
Love the angled offset! I have been searching a long time for a stirrup that will help ease my knee and ankle pain when riding. These have given me a pain free ride!!! Great customer service as well.
Thank you!!
