The difference between the Vector Balance and the Vector Control Stirrups

The ergonomic footplate of the Balance Stirrup is set at 5º with a cross-track grip surface and mounted on an impact absorbing cushion layer of dynamic polymer with a 70% compression rating.

The ergonomic footplate of the Control Stirrup is set at 0º with a cross-track grip surface with embedded hardened steel pins to provide maximum security of the boot. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45º outward orientation which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.

Product Details on the Vector Control
The LeMieux Vector stirrups are a new generation of stirrup - technically advanced and lightweight, but retaining a classic style expected from LeMieux

 

Machined from aviation grade aluminium offers an impressive strength to weight ration, making them lighter than most stirrups on the market at just 419g each, whilst not compromising on stability.

 

The ergonomic footplate of the Control Stirrup is set at 0 ¼ with a cross-track grip surface with embedded hardened steel pins to provide maximum security of the boot.

 

The footplate is supported by a twin balance arch system that distributes the weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame. The apex of the frame is recessed and off-set, encouraging a 45 ¼ outward orientation which makes it easier for the rider to locate the optimum angle for the foot and regain a lost stirrup.

 

An integrated hinged arm has a two-stage release system, preventing unintentional opening. The spring loaded arm locks into the base of the main frame meaning that when under maximum pressure, such as landing over a fence, the rider's weight is spread evenly across the stirrup, preventing the outside dropping and flexing. When pressure is put onto the arm of the stirrup, the arm releases allowing the foot to come out of the stirrup and minimising the risk of it getting stuck. The stirrup arm breakout force = 36N (equivalent to 3.62kg) in testing meaning enough resistance to stop it opening unintentionally, but will release when needed.

    Absolutely love these stirrups
    These stirrups have shown me how important good stirrups truly are. They help stabilizing your lower leg, the spikes keep your foot in place without slipping, they are lightweight, and really help with knee and ankle pain. I paired these stirrups with Total Saddle Fit leathers and the combo is amazing, ensuring my safety above all else. Absolutely worth the price.

    Great Find!
    These deserve a review. I was wanting to get a safety stirrup to round out my safety equipment (helmet and air vest). Originally I was a little sad to switch out my MDCs - I love the weight and simplicity of them. These LeMieux's have a great mid weight to them in comparison to the MDC and my foot/leg felt super stable. Not sure if it's the spiked tread, the 5 degree angle or what, but wow these might just replace the MDCs full time.

    My favorite stirrups ever
    I absolutely love these for all the flatwork I do. I don't like a flimsy weightless stirrup, but I also don't like a super heavy clunky stirrup. These are just right. The spikes are sharp, but they keep your foot stable. The lever arm opens when your foot puts pressure on the outer end of the stirrup. The foot bed is nice and wide. They come in a very nice box. I got the black, and they look fantastic with my saddle.

    Life-changing Stirrups
    I didn’t buy these from Smartpak but these are truly the best stirrups I’ve ever ridden in and owned. My understanding is they are not show legal for dressage but nonetheless, you will never lose your stirrup again. They make you feel very secure and confident on any mount or in slippery weather with wet treaded boots.

    Great Stirrups.
    Really nice Stirrups. Well balanced with plenty of room for the wider foot and plenty of depth at the top of the iron for the leathers. Great range of colours. Excellent customer service from the ladies in the store. Most appreciated. X

    I almost returned these
    I ordered these back in February and only just got them in April, thanks covid. When I first opened the box and took them out, I was resigned to return them. The side arm opened with very little pressure. However when on the stirrup leather and in use I LOVE THEM. The spikes keep your foot secure and the comfort I get knowing that the arm will open is worth the price tag.
