[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1485119, member: 63925"] Maybe you are not getting your instep deep enough into stirrup which can easily cause this problem. I am 6'4" , 255 lbs and have 164E boots (ok stop laughing) and have used these stirrups for years and helps immensely. If you are a outside the 95% of population the saddle seat plays huge part in how well you can actually sit the saddle as well. Most saddles used by outfitters are not big enough (butt size!) for a lot of riders and coupled with standard stirrups it can be a rough go for anyone. I would ask for the largest saddle seat he has in his inventory at least 16" seat (saddles come in many sizes relative to the seat size) helps a lot if yo are a bigger guy to start with. I had a horse many years ago and rode a lot and can tell you tack can make or "break" you easily. My riding was bit rougher than most since I hooked up with a gal who's brother was into rodeo etc so dumas me decided that looked like fun. It was BUT dang bad **** does happen. AT least buy some bigger stirrups to bring and outfitter should not have any issue using them. I sold my Simco roping saddle years ago and all I can say is what a fool to do so. Bigger seat, clean fenders, bigger bull dogging stirrups was like riding in a Lazy Boy. Example bigger stirrups: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M8KIZ5M/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] [/QUOTE]
