My wintec webbers have arrived and they look a bit short. I ordered the 60 cm ones after searching them on here and people my height 5'4" had 60 cm ones and people said to makes sure they weren't too long. I've got them on the longest length and they still look too short. Don't have a saddle to try them as I have a share horse and not riding until Sunday, but need to send them back soon if they're not right.

I have sprengers stirrups which are quite long.

Anyone else have them?
 
I am assuming they are measured the same as Wow leathers which are the same design. In which case it possibly depends on what you plan to use them for.
I'm 5'6 and 32" inside leg. I have 22" leathers on my jumping saddle and 28" on my dressage saddle. Wow leathers are sold in 2" increments so these are perfect for me to keep the buckle in the ideal spot ;) I have 'tall' stirrups on both sets, that makes quite a difference (I had to get shorter leathers when I swapped from normal stirrups).

Don't know if that helps at all :p but I ride short for jumping and long for dressage... you're a bit shorter than I am though... you probably need to try them tbh!!
 
Yeah I think I need to try them. I think they might be just right but not sure. He's a pretty narrow thoroughbred so my legs hang down a little longer on him than on my old cob. I'm also looking to do more flatwork with him than jumping but he's in a gp saddle.

You're right I need to try them, only then won't be able to return them I think.
 
I'm 5'6 and have the 28" wintec webbers, I use a middle hole. You could test the length by putting your stirrups on the webbers and doing the armpit to fingers length check that you would usually do with the leather attached to the saddle. That would give you an idea whether they might me too short.
