Cashel EZ-Knees

I tried these for the first time yesterday and it is a NO GO!   I have knee issues (numerous surgeries) and short legs - so my saddle tends to have a lot of leather down at the keeper which put torque on my knees.   I finally got to the point where I could not stand it (after twisting the stirrups, wetting them and putting a rod through and numerous other things)  I put these on yesterday and even with my stirrups shortened to the last hole they added enough length that I had to reach to be in the stirrup.  They were at such a severe angle that I could not turn my stirrup toward me too mount and the neck was so heavy and thick it dug into my leg above the ankle.  These are going back.  Not satisfied.  And knees and hips are sore today.  More sore than without these.

Now to find other ways to turn my stirrups so they do not torque on my knees.
