Shires Karben Stirrups

The stirrup features a spring-loaded outer arm designed to open under pressure if your foot pushes against it during a fall. Once the pressure is released, the arm automatically snaps back into its locked position, so you don't have to reset it manually.

The dual-grip rubberized polymer is designed for durability and consistent traction. While it will naturally show signs of wear over time depending on the frequency of use and the type of boot sole, it is built to withstand the rigors of daily riding and jumping.

Yes, the angled eyelet helps the stirrup leather hang in a way that encourages your stirrup to sit flat against your boot. This subtle adjustment helps keep your leg in a more natural, relaxed position, which can reduce strain on your ankles and knees.

At 900g per pair, these stirrups provide a solid, weighted base that helps them stay steady and easy to retrieve if you lose them mid-ride. The weight is balanced to offer stability without feeling cumbersome or overly heavy.

Absolutely. While the safety features and grip are ideal for jumping and cross-country, the design is versatile enough for general purpose and everyday schooling. They are suitable for any rider looking for added security and joint support.
