Pinchless stirrup leathers

[SFoers]

Hi, I’m looking for wider stirrup leathers so I can ride in jeans and short boots without getting pinched. They’ll need to fit an English saddle so will still have to fit through English irons and through the saddle hook.

I have so far found Le Mieux Vector, Pravin Sellier and the FreeJump ones.

Does anyone have any experience of these please particularly in short boots or any other recommendations.

Thank you

I investigated cheap options for this. Fenders are good eg Barefoot

Wintec webbers, the suede-like version work well.

Or just sheepskin leather covers.

If they are not twisted the wrong way they shouldn't pinch.

Thank you, I’ll look at the Barefoot fenders.
I hadn’t thought of sheepskin covers - good idea!

Unfortunately I’ve been pinched a few times and it’s not pleasant!

Then I think they are twisted.( this will be my last comment) ( I alway hack in short boots and jeans)

Leathers can pinch if they're twisted the right way. 90 degree stirrups (ie the slots that take the leather are at right angles to the tread) can help but yes, there are lots of options for wider leathers, can't help much on them though, sorry.

It might be my lower leg position neddy man, perhaps it’s not stable enough? Thank you for your response though

Thank you sbloom, I do get pinched from time to time and it definitely hurts! I’m still investigating wider leathers which I’m hoping will help

Webber leathers? I have them on my Wow. Small loop at top goes through stirrup bars, small loop at bottom with notch goes through stirrup. So, one piece of leather under your leg.

Still pinch me, even when laid the correct way. Maybe my calves have excess pinchable areas?

If I have jeans and short boots on, I wrap half chaps round before getting on.
