Did you end up getting these? If so did you like them? And what size did you get? I’m 5”6 and can’t decided what size to get as I do showjumping and dressage haha!
Hiya, I'm not OP but brought the same leathers, and have used them for around a year now, they are quite soft and I will say that I have stretched one about a hole longer than the other in use, and upon speaking to my saddler who is also a show jumper she had issues with the wider leather rolling up under her leg. Other than that I've not really had an issue with them. I'm 5'2 something so short and stocky brought a 48in which is about 120cm and they suit me fine, but I do think if you are gonna invest the nearly 100 quid in them, maybe spend a little more and buy the ecoriders version for better and more hard wearing leather. Said saddler has made the switch to these in the last year and has no complaints about them and I'll be making the same switch within the year due to needing black leathers now.

Hope this helps!
One gets this problem if the stirrups stay on the saddle. The leather on the left side stretches more because it is used when mounting. I dont have this problem as I take my own leathers and stirrups to the yard and put them on the yard saddle before I ride, random sides.
Hi Spotty_pony, can you punch more holes in? Is there room, and also how many holes do they have the 61” ones? Thanks
I love them. I rode in other stirrups and leathers in holiday and couldn't wait to get back in my saddle. One side does slide over the bottom leather though but I don't notice. I don't know if this will cause a long term issue.
