Product Information
Full details
The John Whitaker Stirrup Leathers are designed for equestrians who prioritize longevity and a clean, traditional aesthetic in their tack. Crafted from high-quality bonded calfskin, these leathers offer a refined look for both training and competition, with an anti-stretch core that prevents uneven leg length over time; however, riders should note that they require regular leather conditioning to maintain their suppleness compared to synthetic alternatives.

FAQs
How do I choose the correct length?
Measure your current leathers or consider your leg length and saddle type. Options are available from 125cm to 160cm.
Can these be used for jumping?
Yes, the robust construction and anti-stretch core make them suitable for both jumping and dressage disciplines.
Are these real leather?
Yes, they are crafted from high-quality bonded calfskin.
How do I prevent the leathers from marking my saddle?
Ensure the buckle is tucked into the keeper and consider using a leather-safe stirrup keeper cover if necessary.
Are the buckles rust-proof?
They are made of stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion in normal equestrian environments.
Troubleshooting
Buckles are difficult to adjust
Ensure the leather is clean and apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the buckle holes to reduce friction.
Leather feels stiff after storage
Apply a coat of leather oil or balsam to restore moisture to the fibers and flex the leather gently to loosen it.
Pros and Cons

- Requires regular cleaning and conditioning to prevent cracking

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your stirrup leathers, slide the buckle end through the stirrup bar on your saddle and secure the tongue through your desired hole. Always check that the buckle is facing away from the saddle flap to prevent leather wear.
Care Instructions
- Wipe down with a soft damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat and dirt.
- Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the calfskin supple.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or becoming brittle.
- Check the holes periodically for signs of stretching or wear.
