Maximum safety and instant foot release

The Soft Up Classic pushes the boundaries of safety in equestrian sports. Featuring an innovative flexible outer branch made from Elastollan®, these stirrups have been specifically designed to minimize the risk of your foot getting caught in the event of a fall. Under pressure, the flexible branch opens outward, allowing the foot to release instantly—a must-have for all riders wishing to ride with peace of mind, especially during unexpected situations. This feature, a true revolution in the world of stirrups, ensures your safety remains the top priority at every moment, all while maintaining stable and precise foot support.

• Flexible outer branch: designed to open under pressure and enable foot release.
• Patented Freejump technology: for optimal protection without compromising performance.

Single-branch technology and shock absorption

The result of years of research and development, the single-branch technology of the Soft Up Classic stirrups radically changes the comfort level for both rider and horse. Made from long-fiber polyamide and reinforced by an Elastollan® overmolding, it efficiently absorbs and distributes shocks. As a result, impacts received by each stirrup are divided by three compared to a traditional model. This innovative system significantly reduces pressure on the rider’s joints and limits strain on the horse’s back, allowing for smoother, more considerate riding for both horse and rider.

• Optimal vibration absorption: eases strain on your knees, ankles, and hips even during intensive work or repeated jumping.
• Protects the horse's back: reduces tension caused by “jerks” from the feet in the saddle.

Refined design for ideal positioning

Developed in collaboration with Olympic champion Pénélope Leprevost and renowned Italian designer Pininfarina, the Soft Up Classic features elegant lines and a specifically redesigned width to suit female morphology, but also to comfortably fit all riders up to size EU 43. The unique straight eye makes it easier to maintain a perfectly vertical leg position, encouraging a stable, precise, and natural seat. This design allows for optimal foot placement while maintaining timeless style—whether for competitions, training, or leisure riding.

• Classic straight eye: facilitates strap orientation for a straight leg position.
• Slimmer width: ideal for narrower boots, up to size EU 43.

Superb grip and exceptional longevity

The Freejump experience goes beyond safety: the Soft Up Classic also provides unrivaled grip thanks to its overmolded, textured tread. Incorporating carbon fibers for maximum strength, these stirrups are equipped with removable stainless steel spikes. This combination offers riders perfect anchorage, even in the most demanding conditions, and guarantees remarkable stirrup durability. The removable spikes, which you can replace with the Pro Kit, optimize grip to prevent accidental foot slippage—rain or shine.

• Textured overmolded tread: for superior grip.
• Removable steel spikes: customizable and replaceable based on wear or needs.
• Reinforced durability: thanks to carbon fiber integration.

Optimized center of gravity for natural positioning

The Soft Up Classic safety stirrups showcase a key innovation: their center of gravity is intentionally shifted towards the rear of the tread, creating a natural slight incline to the stirrup. This feature subtly directs the foot for optimal heel-down position, encouraging stability and safety in the saddle, while maintaining the flexibility and freedom of movement riders desire. This inclination not only improves balance but also promotes proper posture, which is essential for reducing muscle fatigue and tension during long sessions.

• Rearward tilt of the tread: encourages correct heel position.
• Natural sensation: supports the dynamics of both rider and horse.

Who are the soft up classic designed for?

Suitable for everyone, the Soft Up Classic is especially favored by female riders looking for a slim and elegant stirrup, as well as anyone seeking increased safety without adding weight to their ride. Thanks to their optimized width, they fit foot sizes up to EU 43 and excel equally in show jumping, dressage, classical riding, or outdoor exercises and training. Their high versatility makes them an excellent choice for both regular leisure use and top-level competition.
