Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I determine the correct size for my stirrups?
A: To ensure a perfect fit, measure your stirrup’s "tread depth" from the front edge to the back edge (not the width across). Choose Medium for 1.75"–2.25", Large for 2.5"–3.25", or X-Large for treads up to 4". If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a tighter, more secure wrap.

Q: Will these cushions help if I have existing knee or ankle injuries?
A: Yes! These are a favorite for therapeutic and senior riding. The high-density foam acts as a shock absorber, neutralizing the vibrations and impact that exacerbate joint pain, allowing you to ride longer with significantly less discomfort.
