Location: Lost in the corn of Iowa. | I love my crooked stirrups. I have knee issues and they are so comfortable. The Walls slanted stirrups work well too. I just prefer the crooked stirrups myself. I like how they have a wide tread on them. |

Location: Do I hear Banjos? | Another vote for Crooked Stirrups. I have had mine for years and love them. I've done drill tram, barrels and distance riding in them. They have saved my knees! |

there's a good picture of each. I have the twister, nice because it does take the pressure off if your leathers aren't twisted very good. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | My problem with the slanted is they feel too long on the flat stirrup adjustment, but when I move them up a single hole, they're too short. This is on my crown c. I've had them for over 2 weeks now and am about ready to take them off. |

I'd be willing to try them out, just to see if they can help my knees. If you want to sell them, I may buy them from you. |

I just wanted to update this because I bought a different saddle and tried the slanted stirrups on it today and actually liked them. Apparently, it was the saddle that made the difference. The other one has a hamley twist on the leathers (crown c) and the new one doesn't (Merrill) and I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not. Anyway, I'm glad I held onto them. |
