The LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrups in Blue are designed for riders seeking enhanced performance, comfort, and safety. Machined from aviation-grade aluminium, these stirrups offer an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, ideal for disciplines requiring agility and reduced rider fatigue. A potential consideration is their advanced safety mechanism, which may require a brief adjustment period for riders accustomed to simpler designs.

The polymer cushion layer with a 70% compression rating is designed to absorb shock and vibration upon landing, significantly reducing strain on the rider's knees, ankles, and tendons.
The recessed, offset apex encourages the stirrup to hang at a natural 45° outward angle, making it easier for the rider to position their foot correctly and to quickly regain a lost stirrup.
While the advanced features offer significant benefits, the two-stage safety release may require some adaptation. They are suitable for riders who prioritize safety and performance, including dedicated beginners willing to learn the mechanism.
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to protect the finish. A mild soap solution can be used for deeper cleaning, followed by thorough drying.
Each stirrup weighs approximately 372g, contributing to an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
Yes, the combination of the cross-track grip and hardened steel pins is designed to provide excellent security with most standard riding boot soles.
Ensure the stirrup leather is correctly threaded and the stirrup is hanging at the appropriate angle. Check that the twin balance arch system is free of debris and that the stirrup leather is not twisted.
Inspect the safety arm mechanism for any dirt, mud, or debris. Gently clean the moving parts with a soft brush and a mild cleaning solution if necessary. Ensure the mechanism pivots freely.
Clean the cross-track grip and steel pins on the footplate with a damp cloth to remove any mud or dirt. Ensure your riding boots are also clean and free from excessive mud.
Verify the stirrup is hanging at the correct outward angle. Ensure the 5° ergonomic footplate is positioned correctly under your foot. Allow a period of adjustment as your body adapts to the new stirrup design.
Setup: The LeMieux Vector Balance Stirrups are designed for straightforward integration with most standard stirrup leathers. Simply thread the stirrup leather through the designated channel at the top of the stirrup. Ensure the stirrup is oriented correctly with the footplate facing forward and the safety arm on the inside of the leg. The offset apex should naturally encourage the stirrup to hang at a 45° outward angle.
Compatibility: These stirrups are compatible with all standard English-style stirrup leathers. The aviation-grade aluminium construction ensures compatibility with various riding disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, eventing, and general riding.
Care: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the stirrups, a simple wipe-down after each use is recommended. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the aluminium finish and the polymer cushion. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and immediate drying with a clean, soft cloth. Ensure the safety mechanism remains free of debris to function correctly.
