Shires Equestrian Karben Grip FX Stirrups

The outer branch is designed to flex or release under pressure, creating an open path for your foot to exit the stirrup if you fall. It is engineered to maintain its shape after use, so you don't need to replace the stirrup after a minor incident.

The deep-grip tread is designed for maximum traction, which can be more aggressive than standard rubber pads. While it provides excellent stability, it may cause more wear on the soles of your boots over time compared to a smooth tread.

The angled eyelet encourages the stirrup leather to sit in a way that naturally aligns the stirrup with your foot. This helps keep your leg in a more comfortable, neutral position and reduces the need to constantly fight to keep the stirrup flat against your boot.

No, they are constructed from lightweight cast aluminum. They are designed to be sturdy and durable without adding unnecessary bulk to your tack.

Yes, the base of the stirrup is designed to be shock-absorbing. This helps dampen the impact and vibration that travels up through your leg while riding, which can make a noticeable difference during longer sessions or when jumping.
