I'm rather tempted to buy some, but they are rather pricey, so would like to hear from anyone using them. My left foot is rather out of balance and I have difficulty keeping my left stirrup in the right place - would they help?
 
Hiya, I have some and they are great. I justified the price by buying them for my 40th! But I wouldn't ride without them now.
 
I also have some. My parents got them for me as a Christmas present and I honestly couldn't imagine riding in anything else now.

I chose them as I found myself getting sore ankles and knees when I rode for any length of time, but now with my sprengers I have no issues at all.

Look out for the rideaway 20% off discounts to make the price slightly more bearable.
 
I love mine, and I can definitely tell the difference. My mum was using mine while I was horseless, and when I first got my boy I used the fillis irons that his owner gave me with his saddle. I've since swapped back to my Bow Balances and I no longer get achy ankles or dead toes! I also feel more secure using them with short stirrups (I don't notice as much with long stirrups on a dressage saddle - my boy has a jump saddle).
I'm not sure if I'd pay the price for them nowadays, but I'm very glad I got mine when I did (about seven years ago, for £80)!
 
Love mine they have really helped with ankle stability and an otherwise painful knee. I also have some of the cheap Townfields ones, I really rated them until I bought the Bow Balance ones, the Bow are so much better. They are expensive but definitely worth it to mean I can ride without pain
 
I love mine! I had the normal Sprenger ones which really helped with knee pain, so I kept swapping them between saddles, then decided to treat myself to the Bow Balance ones. I've had mine a few years now, they were over £100 then but I found them for a bargain price of £84.99 ;) I used to lose my stirrups a lot, and they've also helped with that, I almost never do now, even with airs above the ground or quick spins! I would happily replace them at today's prices if I needed to.
 
I have a set on my dressage saddle and love them; I suffer with my knees I have a low cost alternative on my gp while im saving for another set and notice the difference everytime, yes pricey but imo worth every penny..
