Two point in EZride Endurance type stirrups

[Huntin_Fool]

Dear All,

I have tarsal tunnel-which is carpal tunnel in your feet. I am agonizing and overthinking (as is my wont) about stirrups. I have borrowed a pair of MDC with the wide tread. While they are loads better than the narrow regular stirrups, after a long ride I can still feel the absurd burning in my soles-like someone is giving me a Yosemite Sam hot foot.

So I’ve been looking at the EZride stirrups. They are wide and have a pad. The MDC of course aren’t padded, at least the ones I borrowed don’t. EZride is cheaper as well.

Has anyone tried to do a 2 point in them? We have long runs at my hunt over our long flat fields and thus lots of 2 point.

Thanks for any help and advice!!!

Regards,
Huntin’ Fool

Full disclaimer, I have never even seen them in person… but I don’t really see why you wouldn’t be able to? As long as your foot fits in the stirrup normally and your leathers can be adjusted I would think you can do two point in any stirrups.

I agree with Highflyer1

The one thing you might find difficult about them is they look very light. Many riders do not like such light stirrups for fast work because they tend to flap around more and can be aggravatingly difficult to pick up should you accidentally lose one.

I had a pair and did plenty of active trail riding. They are great, I think they help two point because they give you a wide platform to stand on. They also make it easier to mount from the ground, for me anyway.

I did find they were more likely to get small sticks from close-growing bushes stuck in them. Not sure why?
