after trying a few different kinds I got these today and absolutely love them!

nice and light, broad chessegrater tread so my feet feel nice and secure and offset so no twist in the stirrup leathers. I have a problem with my hip that means I get a sore on the inside of my calf from conventional leathers/stirrups combo so hopefully these will help. Not a bad price either compared to others. They do come apart at the top but not sure Id rely on that as a safety feature.
 
I changed to Operas after suffering from chronic knee pain and lesser ankle pain. I initially bought a set for DP's saddle but liked them so much I bought a second set for Bailey so I didn't have have to keep swapping them from one saddle to the other. They are light and grippy and I love the wide tread and natural way they hang so you can always find them.
 
I swapped my sprenger bow balance for these a while back and absolutely love them. They've made an amazing difference to my lower leg position too!
 
These look good, I can only find them listed as 'one size' does anyone have any ideas how big they are please?

As I've just cleaned my saddle it's at home so I've measured them in centimetres.

If you look at NE's photo from the tread up to where the stirrup leather attaches to the stirrup is 15cms. The size across the tread from end to end is 12cms. I ride in either Ariat short boots or Mountain Horse steel toe capped boots which are quite big and they fit no problem.

Hope this helps a bit.
