Full details
Designed specifically for younger riders and those with a shoe size up to EU 39, the Freejump Soft'Up Lite stirrups offer a high-performance balance of safety and comfort. These stirrups feature a revolutionary flexible single-branch design that eases pressure on joints and the horse's back, making them an excellent choice for long training sessions.

FAQs
Can adults with larger feet use these stirrups?
No, these are specifically designed for riders with a foot size up to EU 39.
What is the flexible branch made of?
The outer branch is crafted from a durable material called Elastollan, designed to deform for safety.
How do these stirrups improve my riding position?
The eye is angled at 45 degrees, which helps position the stirrup flat against your foot and encourages a natural heel-down position.
Are these stirrups compatible with all types of stirrup leathers?
They are compatible with most standard stirrup leathers, though they work best with specialized Freejump leathers for optimal positioning.
Do I need special cleaning supplies?
No, regular maintenance with a damp cloth and a soft brush for the treads is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
The stirrup feels unstable during mounting
Ensure the stirrup is oriented correctly with the flexible branch facing outward and check that your stirrup leathers are properly tightened to the saddle.
Loss of grip on the tread
Clean the floor of the stirrup with a stiff brush and water to remove dirt or arena footing that has built up around the raised studs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Soft'Up Lite stirrups, ensure your leathers are compatible with the stirrup eye. Always verify that the stirrup is attached to the saddle in the correct orientation—the flexible branch should face the outside of the horse.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regularly inspect the flexible outer branch to ensure it is free from debris that could impede its movement.
- Clean the stirrup floor periodically to keep the raised studs free of packed mud or dirt, ensuring the grip remains effective.
- Wipe down the stirrup with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the Elastollan or fiberglass components.
- Check the condition of your stirrup leathers regularly to ensure they remain safe and secure within the stirrup eye.
