The Tech Stirrups Venice Sloped Evo Safety Stirrup in Black is designed for equestrian riders participating in jumping and cross-country disciplines. Its primary benefit is enhanced safety and comfort through a unique release mechanism and shock-absorbing features, though its specialized design and sizing may not suit all riders. Key features include a 2.5-degree angled slope for improved heel position, angled grips for stability, and four shock-absorbing inserts for joint support. The integrated Venice Safety Design™ ensures the foot is released during a fall, with the mechanism automatically resetting.

While the Venice Sloped Evo stirrups offer excellent comfort and safety, their 2.5-degree slope is primarily optimized for disciplines like jumping and cross-country where maintaining a heel-down position is crucial. For pure dressage, riders often prefer a flat tread, though some may find the comfort benefits appealing for general riding.
The Venice Safety Design™ is engineered to release under pressure during a fall. The mechanism has been tested for reliable release, though the exact force required can vary slightly. It is designed to activate when the foot is in a position where it might become trapped.
The Tech Stirrups Venice Sloped Evo Stirrups weigh approximately 570g (20.10oz).
These stirrups are compatible with most standard riding boots. However, for optimal performance and grip, it is recommended to use boots with a defined tread pattern. Ensure your boot size is within the recommended range (EU 38 / UK 5 / US 7 or larger) for proper fit.
It is advisable to check the release mechanism periodically, at least once a month, and especially before any strenuous riding session. Ensure it is clean, free of debris, and moves freely.
'Sloped' refers to the 2.5-degree angle on the tread designed to improve rider comfort and heel position. 'Evo' typically indicates an evolution or updated version of a product, suggesting enhanced features or design improvements over previous models.
Information on replacement parts for shock-absorbing inserts is best obtained directly from the manufacturer or authorized retailers. Check your product manual or website for details on replacement parts and availability.
Gently clean the mechanism area with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure no foreign objects are obstructing its movement. Test the mechanism gently. If stiffness persists, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a professional equestrian supplier.
Ensure your riding boots have adequate tread. Clean the stirrup tread to remove any mud, dirt, or wax build-up. The angled grips are designed for traction, but clean contact is essential.
Verify that the stirrup's shock-absorbing inserts are functioning correctly. Ensure the stirrup length is adjusted appropriately for your riding position. If discomfort persists, consult with a riding instructor or a physical therapist specializing in rider biomechanics.
Ensure the stirrup is threaded correctly onto the leather and that there are no sharp edges on the stirrup's eyelet. Check the stirrup leathers themselves for wear and tear and replace them if necessary.
Setup:
These stirrups are designed to be used with standard stirrup leathers. Simply thread your stirrup leathers through the top eyelet of each stirrup, ensuring they are correctly oriented (e.g., the slope facing forward). Adjust the length of your leathers as you normally would for your riding discipline.
