Product Information
Full details
Designed for equestrians across all disciplines, the Freejump Soft'Up Pro Stirrups are engineered for those who demand a balance between safety, comfort, and performance. The primary benefit of these stirrups is their flexible outer branch and shock-absorbing spring steel core, which significantly reduce joint strain; however, users should be aware that the specific single-branch design requires a learning curve for riders accustomed to traditional heavy-weight stirrups.

FAQs
Are these stirrups approved for competition?
Yes, Freejump Soft'Up Pro stirrups are widely used in professional competition circuits across most disciplines.
Do I need special stirrup leathers?
While they are compatible with standard leathers, they perform best with flat-style leathers that allow the 45-degree angle to sit flush.
Can I replace the tread if it wears out?
Yes, the metal studs are designed to be replaceable, ensuring your stirrups maintain their grip over time.
How do they help with joint pain?
The tempered spring steel core absorbs up to 30% of impact forces, which acts as a shock absorber between you and the horse.
Is the stirrup 'heavy' like traditional irons?
They are designed to be lightweight and ergonomic, which may feel different than traditional heavy steel irons, but the offset center of gravity compensates for this.
Troubleshooting
Stirrup feels unstable or moves excessively
Verify that the stirrup leathers are properly adjusted and that the 45-degree angle of the eye is positioned correctly against the saddle flap.
Reduced grip on the tread
Check the condition of the metal studs. If they appear worn down, replace the set to restore original traction.
Flexible branch stiffness
Clean the joint area of the outer branch to ensure no sand or dirt is hindering the movement mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the stirrup onto the leather using the angled eye, ensuring the wider part of the tread faces the front. For maintenance, wipe the frame regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove grit and sweat. Inspect the metal studs periodically; if the grip begins to fade, they can be easily replaced to restore optimal performance. Ensure the flexible branch remains free of debris to guarantee its release functionality. Avoid storing the stirrups in extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the Elastollan material.
