I've had mine for about a year now...and I love them.  Ordering another
pair right now after Steve complained about the stirrups on the saddle he
was using today.  He had ridden with the E-Z rides last time out and felt
much more secure and comfortable.  It took me a couple of times out when I
first got mine to figure out where my feet went to not affect my knees.
I'm pretty accustomed to them now and don't notice anything other than
comfort and security.  Also, I can get my heels down better now which was
hard at first when I'd try to put my foot in all the way to the front of
the cage -- my foot was in too far making it hard to weight my heels enough
and have them drop below the level of the stirrup.  I have cages on them
and had debated whether to get the cages...but I'm glad I did.  I just
shove my foot in at a slight angle and the cage puts it in a good spot and
doesn't let it go too far.
