Does anyone use these? They are £££ but wondering if they are worth it.
I often get achy ankles if I spend longer than half an hour in the saddle.

I have the S4. They are fantastic for my sore ankles, so much more comfortable than regular stirrups. I was lucky, I got mine in the closing down sale of our local tack shop, the full price is quite hefty!

I have these and I have to say my ankles and knees are the only things that don't ache after a 2/3 hour hack Grin (l'm over 50).

I've had mine for over 3 years now and ride, on average, 3/4 times a week so cost per use is actually very good - DH bought them for me as a birthday present.

I have them. I have to admit I hadn't realised how horribly expensive they are, as they came with my horse's saddle when I bought him. They're great and I think worth an investment, especially if you look out for them in a sale.

Are these any good for people with dodgy knees?

I think I'm going to hunt around on the internet and see how cheaply I can get them :)

Love love love them. I hAve a hip screw and dodgy knee and can hack for hours in them. Love them for dressage too. Odd at first but great.
