i ordered these thinking they were normal leathers but they have no buckle just a wierd clip and a loop at the other end? i dont know how to use them, any ideas?

I can't open the link but i suspect you have bought dressage leathers. The loop will go on the stirrup bar and the weird clip goes through the stirup and then slots in to one of the holes that you will find running down the leather. The idea of them is to not have so much bulk under your leg when you are riding.

They are quite handy actually as it is very easy to change the length of the leathers while riding. I quite like them!
