Ultimate Stirrup Irons
English Saddle Fittings/Pads
Manufacturer: MDC
Model: Ultimate Stirrup Irons
Category: English Saddle Fittings/Pads
Purchase: I paid approximately $175 for these irons from netfilly.com
Likes: I LOVE these irons. I've been riding for 13 years, and recently I began having major stiffness problems with my legs. I found the torque on my leg from regular irons & leathers was causing pain in my knees, and numbness in my feet. It was downright painful to use the stirrups after a while. I decided to splurge on these irons after doing some research. I'm SO glad I did! I love the adjustable eye, which allows you to have the eye set at the traditional angle, 45 degrees, or 90 degrees. I prefer the 45 degree angle myself... Something you can't do with a fixed eye. I also love the jointed aspect of the irons as well. It makes it easier to keep your heels down.
Dislikes: A little pricey, but worth it for the comfort and safety factor!
Quality: Excellent construction and quality. Nice heavy duty irons.
Summary: These irons are great for people with knee and ankle problems, or riders that experience numbness in their feet while riding. (In other words, great for riders that just aren't spring chickens anymore...)
