"These are awesome. In the "If you don't have'em, buy 'em" category. Really durable, really work. Great grip and good on the feet. I have sensitive, bony feet that used to go numb in the irons. Not a problem anymore. Also, losing a stirrup is a rarity."

"I really like these, they are very thick and durable and will last MUCH longer than regular stirrup pads, which I've been changing out every 8 months or so. I can't say that I never lose a stirrup but the pads make them much easier to hold onto! Only drawback, the ties that secure them leave sharp little points on the underside of the stirrup. There might be a way to rotate the tie so it can be cut off inside the stirrup, but that experiment will have to await the next pair, which hopefully won't be for a couple of years!"

"The pads are durable, no slip, and give great support. They give great traction- whether I'm riding in my Ariat paddock boots OR Dubarry's! They are more expensive than other pads, but well worth the money!"

"I am very happy with this product. I was using the sandpaper style before and i really hated them,they were very slippery.The design of the Super Comfort Pads allows for consistent contact. They are grippy,but, I don't feel worried that my feet would get stuck if I got into trouble, it's not like they are superglued to your foot. Think of them as a tire with good tread as opposed to bald tires.they actually remind me of mini tires b/c they are made of a similar rubber. I do think they are over priced for what they are and the fact that you attach them with zip ties cheapens them,but at the same time,I'm not sorry i purchased them. I think they will last a long time. I suggest leaving a long end on the ties and pushing the excess through the opposite holes,it just looks cleaner,not that anyone is looking at the underside of your stirrups"

"Love these pads!! I ride young & green horses a lot. I have lost a stirrup less often since using these pads because these pads wrap all of the way around the stirrup."

"I was really nervous about spending $30 on this product. After riding in them for a few weeks, I'm so glad I bought them! They provide the perfect base for a stable leg. I haven't lost my stirrup since I've started using these pads! The package says to buy a size down if you have jointed stirrups, but I found the size I got worked fine since the joints didn't go to the bottom of the stirrup. Overall a really great purchase!!"

"I bought these for my daughter, 11 yrs old. I was sick of stirrup pads that don't fit in the metal groove on the bottom of her stirrups, and these looked grippy so we gave them a try.
Installation is easy, just zip ties, I tightened them with a pair of needle nose pliers I keep in my tack box but I could have just tightened them by hand. You'll need nippers or scissors to trim the excess zip tie ends.
When she rode in them, I noticed that her legs and feet were under her (in good hip heel alignment) and I didn't have to yell at her to get her legs back and her heels down. She tells me that her boots dont slip out of the stirrups anymore. These stirrup pads seem to allow the ankles to more comfortably flex down in to a heels down position, while securely gripping the bottom of the boot. The rider can relax a little bit more. And for my daughter, this actually gave her a more lovely riding position. I definitely recommend!

"I've used these on and off for years and have found them to be helpful for stability and less foot movement in the stirrup. I prefer it over the sandpaper stirrup pads. This recent pair was purchased for my daughter and she likes them too."

"Bought these and never lost a stirrup again, something I'd had a problem with. Now, *six years* later, these things are still going strong. They last and last. Yesterday I rode in some regular stirrups without this pad... I felt unstable and my toes started to ache. So if you have any tendency to arthritis or joint pain, I think these things are stupendous. These + some heavy steel filis stirrups and you are set for years."

"I had a trainer tell me years ago to try these stirrup pads and I finally gave in and bought a pair. I hadn't tried them yet because of the price, but it has definitely been worth the money! I tend to let my feet slip out of the stirrups, but these help me keep them in!"

"I wouldn't say you're never going to lose a stirrup again, but they sure as heck make it a lot harder to anymore. I think they also absorb a little bit of shock too, but I have no way of scientifically proving that! I got my husband to put these on for me as he's stronger, and I did not want them to move a centimeter. I just wish you didn't have to see the ends of the zip-ties underneath. Be careful of scratching your leathers, you just have to learn to put up your irons a little differently is all. I recommend them to anyone I see."

"I love these iron pads! I found that I was often losing my stirrups from under my feet because I had transitioned from a flat-going hunter to a very powerful and bouncy saddleseat horse. These pads help keep my feet planted in the stirrups and I feel way more secure! Nice and grippy and durable. Great product."

"My trainer kept telling me to buy these but I didn't think they really would make a difference. My last set of pads were ready to be replaced so I decided to give them a try. I'm amazed at how much this helps me keep my stirrups. I would definitely recommend them for jumpers especially."

"I've been using these iron pads for about three months now and it's made a BIG difference in my ridding. My feet NEVER slip out of the stirrups like they were before. When cantering I would become tense, afraid that my feet would slip out then become off balance. Now instead of raising the stirrups I can have them low and my feet stay put."

"A few of the ladies at my barn had these pads and when I needed replacements I decided to give these a try. They came highly recommended and after my first ride in them I knew why, they are absolutely wonderful. The pads are very comfortable on the ball of the foot and offer excellent slip resistance. All around excellence for the price!"
