The LeMieux Vector Control Stirrups combine advanced safety technology with lightweight performance and refined classic styling. Precision-machined from aviation-grade aluminum, they offer exceptional strength while remaining impressively lightweight, helping reduce rider fatigue without compromising stability. Designed for maximum grip and security, the ergonomic 0° footplate features a cross-track tread with hardened steel pins for dependable traction in all conditions. The innovative twin-balance arch system distributes weight evenly across the stirrup, while the recessed, offset apex naturally encourages the stirrup to sit at a 45° angle for easier foot placement and stirrup recovery. A key safety feature is the integrated hinged release arm with a two-stage locking system. Engineered to remain secure during normal riding conditions, the arm is designed to release under pressure in the event of a fall, helping reduce the risk of dragging. Competition legal across major equestrian organizations, these stirrups deliver cutting-edge functionality for riders who value both performance and safety.
