Troubleshooting
Treads are difficult to install.
Ensure the stirrup iron is clean and dry. Slightly warming the rubber treads in warm water can make them more flexible for easier installation. Press firmly and evenly into place.
Treads feel loose after installation.
Re-check that the tread is fully seated in the base of the stirrup iron. Ensure you are using compatible Fillis stirrup irons. If the issue persists, the tread or stirrup iron may be damaged or worn.
Reduced grip after a few uses.
Clean the treads thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt, sweat, or boot polish residue. Ensure the treads and your boots are dry before riding.
