Freejump Soft'Up Pro Safety Stirrups for Riders

Freejump Soft'Up Pro Safety Stirrups

The Freejump Soft'Up Pro is a technical safety stirrup with a flexible, open Elastollan outer branch designed to open under pressure so the foot can release in a fall. It suits riders in any discipline who want shock absorption and a secure leg position, and it is best for jumping and everyday schooling where foot release and joint comfort matter most.

This new generation of the iconic Soft'Up range adds enhanced comfort, a customisable look and a repairable, recyclable construction, while keeping the safety features that made Freejump the specialist in technical safety stirrups since 2005.

Key Features

• Flexible open outer branch in Elastollan, engineered to open when under pressure to facilitate foot release in the event of a fall.
• No hooking effect — the design of the main branch helps the foot leave the stirrup cleanly.
• Reinforced base to the outer branch, built to withstand forces from a sharp turn or an awkward movement.
• Angled eye that provides balance and helps secure the rider's position.
• Spring steel single-branch structure absorbing up to 30% of the forces exerted on the stirrups.
• Cushioning elastomer acting as a true shock absorption system, reducing strain on the rider's joints and the horse's back.
• Offset centre of gravity that naturally encourages a heel-down position for stability and balance.
• Replaceable metal studs for optimal grip that can be renewed over time.
• Durable, repairable and 100% recyclable by design, for a long service life.
• Customisable so you can match the stirrups to your own style.

Specifications

How to Use

1. Check your stirrup leathers first — the Soft'Up Pro is specifically suited to Classic Wide Leathers and 4x6 40mm leathers.
2. Thread the leather through the angled eye so the eye sits in its intended orientation and the tread hangs square.
3. Hang the stirrups on the saddle and adjust the leathers to your usual riding length.
4. Mount and place the ball of the foot on the studded tread, with the flexible outer branch to the outside of the leg.
5. Ride in a boot with a defined heel and a sole that suits the studded tread.
6. Rinse off mud and grit after use, dry away from direct heat, and inspect the branch, elastomer and studs regularly, replacing worn studs to renew grip.

FAQ

What makes the Soft'Up Pro a safety stirrup?
The flexible, open Elastollan outer branch is engineered to open when under pressure, which facilitates foot release in the event of a fall. The main branch is also shaped to release the foot without creating a hooking effect.

Which stirrup leathers fit the Freejump Soft'Up Pro?
They are specifically suited to Classic Wide Leathers and 4x6 40mm leathers. Check the width of your existing leathers before ordering to avoid a fitting issue.

Do they really reduce shock?
The spring steel single-branch structure absorbs up to 30% of the forces exerted on the stirrups, and works with a cushioning elastomer to reduce strain on the rider's joints and the horse's back.

Can the grip be renewed?
Yes. The metal studs provide the grip on the tread and can be replaced, so you can restore grip as the originals wear down.

Are they suitable for jumping and everyday riding?
Yes. The offset centre of gravity encourages a heel-down position for stability and balance, which suits jumping, schooling and hacking.

How sustainable are they?
