Poorly designed with a huge safety flaw.
Purchased in March 2023 and absolutely loved these leathers and recommended them to everyone....until October 2024 when one snapped during a hard left turn. Upon examining the other, these leathers have a huge design flaw with stitching dissecting the leather in a straight line, unlike the other brands which have diagonal stitching.
I spoke to Smartpak customer service and was told I was welcome to purchase a new pair at full price. I also sent the pictures to their product development team because this is a HUGE safety issue and someone is going to get seriously hurt, so hopefully this is addressed.

Great for the price
Good quality, I have a pair of TSF and these are just as nice for way less .. I'm 5'2" and they fit me just fine .. I know from the TSF leathers they take break in time. I'm happy with the purchase

Disappointing
Nice product for the price, but there is a design problem. I had not ridden with the wide flat style of leathers before and was looking forward to trying them. I set them on hole number 8 out of 12 for a jump lesson. Once I was in the arena I realized that I needed to shorten them by one. There were plenty more holes in the leathers, but the wider and thicker portion prevent further shortening. That portion is too long. I am 5 1, and taller riders would be fine I will be returning these and really hope my return will be accepted. Smartpak has so many excellent products, so I was quite surprised

Improved Stability!
I bought these leathers recently and couldn’t be happier with them! I’d been using hand me down synthetic leathers (that I’ve had for 10+ years mind you) on my dressage saddle and was so uncomfortable. I decided to go ahead and upgrade to real leather and saw these. They have exceeded my expectations! The leather is soft and supple, yet still sturdy and strong. The wide leg provides my lower leg with added support and I’ve noticed an improvement in my position already. The only thing I would do different is to order a size up if you are a dressage rider. Mine are a tad shorter than I expected (my fault, should have read the sizing) and I would go a size up if you are a dressage rider with long legs. Otherwise these have been the perfect addition to my gear!

Stiff, thick, low-quality leather like cardboard
What else is there to say? Made in India, which doesn’t have a reputation for quality leather goods.
I wish SmartPak made these with good quality at a good price point.

New Favorite!
I bought these stirrup leathers last year and boy have I been impressed. I was concerned because of the previous reviews noting that they wore off on their saddle and I did not want that happening to my CWD, but I haven't had that issue! They are holding up great and I've had numerous people ask me what brand they are!

Too short
Purchased correct length, 54. Not long enough to reach keeper on flap results in approximately 7 inches of loose leather rubbing under thigh. Exchanged for 60. Received today.Hopefully will work

Not Impressed
Bought these for my new saddle. They are not very adjustable and rub the saddle. Leather quality does not seem great. Holes on both leathers are not even.

Love these leathers
These leather have worn extremely well and look great. Love the nylon to prevent stretching. People have been asking about my leathers everytime I am at the barn. Only complaint - I wish they made them in a “64 - I am a tall rider and would like to tuck in the ends of my leathers to the keeper on my saddle.

Good, does the job
These are great for getting the job done comfortably. Unfortunately, they're not holding up well after several months of use. The leather is losing color and character under my calves and the free end/tail is warping strangely. Wish I had splurged the first time around. I wanted to love the smartpak brand, just not as durable as desired.
