Troubleshooting
Stirrup release mechanism feels stiff or slow to return
Gently clean the release mechanism components with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Ensure no dirt or grit is obstructing the spring. Test the mechanism's function after cleaning. If the issue persists, consult the manufacturer.
Foot feels unstable or is slipping on the tread
Ensure your riding boots are clean and free of mud or grease. Check that the stirrup tread's angled grips are clear of debris. The angled design may require a slight adjustment in foot position for optimal grip.
Heels are not staying down despite the angled tread
Verify you are using the correct stirrup size for your boot. Ensure your stirrup leathers are adjusted to the appropriate length. The angled tread assists, but proper riding position is also key.
