Product Information
Full details
The Shires Compositi Eole Soft Stirrups are designed for equestrians who prioritize joint health and riding comfort. These stirrups provide significant relief for riders experiencing tension in the knees and ankles by utilizing a shock-absorbing, tilting tread design; however, riders accustomed to traditional heavy-metal stirrups may find the lightweight composite construction feels noticeably different in the saddle.

FAQs
Are these stirrups suitable for jumping?
Yes, the wide tread and shock-absorbing design offer excellent stability and comfort for jumping disciplines.
Can I replace the treads if they wear out?
The tread is designed for durability, but check with your local tack retailer for compatible spare parts if long-term wear occurs.
Will these fit standard stirrup leathers?
Yes, these are designed to be compatible with all standard English-style stirrup leathers.
How do I change the eyelets?
The interchangeable eyelets can be swapped by following the included manual, which typically involves popping them out from the frame and snapping the new ones into the desired orientation.
Are these stirrups heavy?
No, they are made from a lightweight composite material, which helps reduce fatigue compared to heavier steel alternatives.
Troubleshooting
Stirrup feels unstable during mounting
Ensure the stirrup leather is securely attached and the stirrup is resting flat against the saddle flap before applying weight.
Tread feels loose or shifts too much
Check that the shock-absorbing insert is correctly seated and that no debris is trapped between the tread and the frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Shires Compositi Eole Soft Stirrups is straightforward; simply slide them onto standard stirrup leathers as you would with any traditional stirrup. To customize the positioning, swap the eyelets according to the provided instructions to ensure the stirrup hangs correctly for your specific leg length. Care is minimal: clean the composite material with mild soap and water after rides to remove dust and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may degrade the composite integrity over time. Periodically check the eyelets to ensure they remain securely fastened.
