Tough 1 Swivel and Lock Endurance Stirrup

Got these for my husband to use because even 30 minutes of riding will make his knees stiff. Recently he injured his knee so now the stiff knees turns into pain even on short rides due to a small tear in his meniscus. I installed these tonight on the saddle and we went for a trail ride up the mountain. He rode for an hour and 15 minutes with no knee stiffness and no pain! I noticed that he did not even need to pause and take his foot out of the stirrup for relief - not even for a few seconds. These are worth gold and this was the best price that I could find. The only down side...they did not come with any allen wrenches (there are 3 different sizes on the stirrup) or instructions. However, they are pretty basic and we had allen wrenches in the tool box that worked. They are little heavier than the regular endurance stirrups due to the extra metal in the swivel mechanism.

These stirrups are huge, way too big for a normal size foot. They have to be taken completely apart to be put on a western saddle and they don't include the Allen wrench to do that. Plus if you swivel them too much the stirrup comes unattached from the swivel part. The only way you can keep that from happening is to lock the screw all the way down which means the stirrup won't swivel. Plus the stirrups appeared to be too different sizes. Highly disappointed in this Tough 1 product.

These are fantastic! Once you get past all the fussy adjustments with the allen wrenches (don't lose them), they stay in place beautifully in any orientation you like. Thrilled with mine and they eliminated ankle pain I was having from flush lying stirrups. They also make mounting up much easier. Well worth the money. A great product!

Would not recommend. No directions, cant even turn the nut with the simple screwdriver they sent. Would luv to return but I guess Im stuck with them. Didnt try them till now because it just looked to difficultNot a happy Rider!!!

These are the best stirrups I've ever purchased. So comfortable and it's easy to install on saddle

The stirrups arrived with the foot pad unglued in multiple places. The quality looked poor. The wrench included only worked for one of the two bolts that need turned to adjust the stirrup position. The other wrench wasn't included. The space is incredibly difficult to get to to turn the bolt, as well. After I went through all that trouble setting the stirrups to my desired position, I realized they added an extra 3" in length to my stirrup strap and the foot position of the stirrup was wrong. So I had to get off my horse, unhook the straps from under the saddle, adjust the length, hop back on and hope it's short enough. Nope, now I need to punch new holes in the straps. Did that after locating the leather punch from where it was hiding in the barn, assembled everything again then had to figure out which swivel placement would help my knee pain. This was the whole reason I bought them. I also thought they could remain unlocked and swivel as my knees needed on the Endurance trail. But they have to be locked into place, so if you need to adjust the stirrup angle while on trail, it's a big deal and a lot of headache. I'm not using this product and am disappointed, and still have knee pain while riding.

these are fantastic! I had zero knee pain after riding, and much more secure on the foot

At first we could not get the thick latigo, with the even thicker fasteners in them, to pass through the space they needed to go, under the 'bar'. But, we figured out that we could remove the bar using the Allen wrench (which is necessary, but NOT INCLUDED!!! take note), to open it, put the latigo in, then reclose with Allen screw. So, we WERE able to use them for a week of very hard riding. they held up fine, althought the padding for the foot is kind of cheap, and a bit slippery. my foot slid out on a couple of somewhat critical times. But, being able to position the stirrup at ANY angle, and make it so that one was more turned out than the other , (to accomodate my bad left knee), was a plus. For long term use, I'd want a beefier stirrup, but for use with a saddle (like on a rental horse) that might not be well turned, it was a good solution.

Help knee pain.

Sadly, this product was defective, and I only found out far past the return window. One of the stirrup swivel does not swivel at all. The other catches. Waste of my money. Could prove to be dangerous if it swivels and catches at the wrong angle. Poorly made.

Vraiment énorme pourrais être mieux pour l'hiver
