MDC S Classic Stirrups

The forward-facing angle naturally aligns the stirrup with your leg's position, which helps keep your heel down and reduces the twisting torque often placed on your knees and ankles. By allowing the stirrup to sit at a more ergonomic angle, it helps you maintain a more stable, comfortable base of support.

The 45-degree angle makes it significantly easier to retrieve your stirrup if you lose it during a ride. Because the iron is already angled toward your foot, you can regain your position much faster than with traditional, flat-hanging stirrups.
