Centaur Stirrup Irons

The jointed sides allow the stirrup to flex slightly with your foot's natural movement. This flexibility absorbs some of the impact and reduces the rigid pressure typically placed on your ankles and knees while riding.

These are versatile enough for both. The flexible joint is particularly helpful for riders who need extra shock absorption during jumping, while the rubber pads provide the necessary grip for stability in any discipline.

No, these stirrups are constructed from high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally rust-resistant. They are designed to withstand exposure to the elements, though wiping them down after a ride is always good practice to maintain the finish.

The white rubber pads are designed to create a high-friction surface that keeps your boot secure. While they offer excellent grip, they can get slippery if heavily caked with mud, so it is best to keep them clean for optimal performance.

Because of the jointed mechanism and the stainless steel construction, they have a solid, balanced weight. They are not significantly heavier than standard irons, but the added weight helps them hang correctly and makes them easier to retrieve if you lose a stirrup.
