| Are the twisted slanted stirrups worth the price? Hip problems are making me push out a bit more with my one foot and tip my toe out and its making my stirrup rub against the side of my foot pretty bad.
Or anyone have anything I might like better?

Location: Windoming | Love my twisted, slanted stirrups. I have a bad hip also. I don't even feel it with these stirrups. Used to get bad muscle spasms in my right leg before using these stirrups. Highly recommend them. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | My left knee is bone on bone and has been since 2009. The Walls Twisted stirrups didn't work for me at all along with the crooked and other slanted stirrups on the market. Bought a pair of the Nettles half breed stirrups from RockyRoad and they eliminated all of my knee pain. |

| My hip doesn't cause my any pain, it just the pain from the stirrup pressing into my foot. I can adjust the stirrup back straight across my foot and its fine for about 5 minutes, then it just starts to twist again because my toe is sticking out until its angled across my foot and presses against the inside of my foot, a couple hours of that really starts to hurt! Its only my right foot. |

| I like the SA Walls slanted for "everyday riding"...but definitely prefer Nettles when it comes to go time. I have a pair of the barrel racers and flat bottoms. I would recommend the petite size unless you have really big feet. I think mine are 1.5 or 2". |

This is what gets me as well. My barrel saddle has weird fenders that will not twist or take a hamley twist. I ride in kroes feet right now and that helps with most of it, but I do still have to readjust.
I will be buying the walls twisted/slanted one of these days... |

Location: Windoming | Not sure what width they are, they're probably 2". I had Nettles, I sent them back. |
