Sprenger Stirrups - what size & how are they measured!

[canteron]

I really fancy a pair of the Sprenger Stirrups - being dragged is one of my fears. But what size.

I have size 7 feet (bit but not that big) and my current stirrups are 5.5inches along the base of the stirrup, but are stirrups measured from 'post' to 'post' or along the bottom. The largest Sprenger ones are slightly smaller.

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream to anyone who might be able to help with this crazy question!

I've got wide size 6/7 feet and my 5 3/4 inch (I think that's the large size for Sprengers) are a good inch wider than my foot. Go for them, you won't regret it

Ah Nuttychestnut, do you have the bow balance or another type? The largest Sprengers I can find are 130mm which is 5 1/8 inches so maybe the question is how are they measured? Thanks.

We have sprengers. They are measured from inside shank to inside shank so appear to come up smaller than a "standard" stirrup which is measured along the base. I would use a 4.5 standard stirrup and a 112mm bow balance.

I have the bow balance, can't find the original purchase email to check the size, but it was the largest they sold.

Thanks, just ordered!
