Shires Compositi Reflex Stirrups - Lightweight Shock-Absorbing Wide Tread - 4.75"

Ride Longer and Stronger with Shires Compositi Reflex Stirrups

If you’ve ever finished a jumping round or a long day of schooling with aching knees and stiff ankles, you know that your stirrups are more than just a place to rest your feet. The Shires Compositi Reflex Stirrups are engineered to take the bite out of high-impact riding by incorporating a flexible, shock-absorbent layer into the tread that moves with you.

Crafted with glass-fiber reinforcement, these stirrups provide a lightweight yet incredibly durable alternative to traditional heavy irons. From the first time you step into the 4.75-inch wide tread, you’ll feel a more stable base of support that helps you maintain a secure two-point position without the usual joint fatigue that comes from rigid metal stirrups.

Why You’ll Love the Shires Compositi Reflex

• Relieve Joint Tension: The integrated shock-absorbing swivel sole pivots slightly to follow the natural movement of your foot, significantly reducing pressure on your knees, ankles, and hips.
• Superior Stability: A wide, non-slip tread provides a larger surface area for your boot, giving you a more secure "base of support" when you're over fences or navigating uneven terrain.
• Lightweight Durability: Reinforced with high-tech glass-fiber, these stirrups offer the strength of steel without the unnecessary weight, making them easy on your horse and your tack room hooks.
• Safety-Conscious Design: The slender profile of the branches is specifically designed to allow for a clean foot release in the event of a fall, adding an extra layer of peace of mind during high-energy rides.
• Standard Adult Fit: The 4.75-inch internal width is the go-to size for most adult riders, offering the perfect amount of clearance for standard English riding boots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the 4.75" size fit my boots?

The 4.75" (12cm) measurement is the standard adult size. It typically fits riders with a US Women’s boot size 7 and up, or Men’s size 6 and up. For safety, you should have approximately a finger's width of space on each side of your boot.

Q: Are these Shires Compositi Reflex Stirrups suitable for eventing?

Absolutely. These stirrups are a favorite for eventers and show jumpers because the wide tread and shock absorption help maintain balance over fences and absorb the impact of landing on cross-country courses.

Q: How do I maintain these stirrups?

Maintenance is easy! Because they are made from glass-fiber reinforced material, you can simply spray them off with water or wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove barn dust and mud.
