Stirrup Iron Help

[TS_]

I've been thinking for a while that I'd quite like some black stirrups as I think, with my black tack, they would look pretty smart. I also would like some with the swivel/shock absorb plate type things. So I was wondering if anyone has any of these stirrups or similar?
Your thoughts? And if anyone has any images of them from the side I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

Aw, mine were Christmas pressie.

Like those black ones you showed - they look good and probably comfortable with the foot plates

Santa was generous

Yes, I like the ones I posted however they look a bit bulky to me which makes me unsure about them. But then I think well they're black, my boots are black so they'll blend in and it shouldn't matter.
Gosh I'm terrbile at making decisions, I can't even make a decision on stirrups irons! I think I need help

I think they'd blend in, 'specially if you're riding the grey in your siggy.

I have some of those irons,and hate them.I dont use them anymore.
I found them too light,and they dont stay put on you foot.

I have these Shires' stirrups which I really like. They are not shock absorbent but are lightweight, not bulky and I find the tread gives really good grip
