These magnetic insoles integrate our renowned magnetic system, which was specifically developed for our magnetic safety stirrups Ophena S and Ophena T. One pair of these insoles is included with every pair of magnetic stirrups, but additional insoles can easily be bought here.
How it works:
You simply place the insoles in your riding boots and are ready to ride. Enjoy the magnetic connection and your Ophena S or Ophena T safety stirrups.
Your advantages:
- Super quick setup
- No special riding boots needed
- Additional insoles can be bought at any point
Other information:
The insoles consist of four layers, constructed to give you maximum comfort, while keeping a slim appearance with a thickness of only 5mm. In case you already have insoles in your riding boots, we generally recommend to replace them with the magnetic insoles. But we also know riders who just put them below their existing insoles. This is the updated version of our insole with over 5 improvements for more comfort and durability.
Our stirrups come in one size only, which fits for kids and adults alike. Every pair of stirrups includes a pair of magnetic insoles of your choice. This guide covers the following:
- Converting your size to EU sizing
- Optional: Determining your insole size with printable A4 templates
- Optional: Trimming your insoles
- Optional: Choosing an alternative magnet position
- Optional: Deciding between Standard and PLUS versions

*Length: This is the lengths of the insoles, not the heel-to-toe lengths. Do not measure your feet directly. Instead, measure existing insoles or use the PDF templates provided below to determine accurate fit.
Optional: Determining your insole size with printable A4 templates
To determine the insole size, we recommend that you download our folder with PDF templates. The folder contains each insole size on an A4 sheet. When printing, make sure to select actual size or 100% scale in the printing dialogue. Here is a step-by-step guide:
- Download the zip-folder with printable PDFs.
- Choose your size: Open the PDF with your shoe size (e.g. 39).
- Print the document in actual size: In the printing dialogue select settings like actual size or 100% scale.
- Double-check print size: Take the print and measure the length of the vertical dashed line with a ruler. The measured length must equal the length stated right next to the line. If it differs by more than 2mm, the printer scaled down the print. Please go back to step 3.
- Cut the printed insole and put it into your boots: It should fit tight and not be able to move back and forth.
What if it doesn’t fit?
- Printed insole is too big? Repeat with a smaller size.
- Printed insole is too small? Repeat the process with a bigger size.
- In between sizes? Order the bigger size and trim it with scissors or a knife (see instructions below).
Optional: Trimming your insoles
You can carefully trim your insoles using a sharp knife or scissors. Be aware that the insoles contain magnets, which attract metallic objects like most knives and scissors.
Trimming your insoles does not affect our 60-day money-back guarantee. You can trim and try, and we still take them back if you are not satisfied.
Optional: Choosing an alternative magnet position
Our magnetic insoles have a fixed magnetic system, which is placed below the ball of the foot - for the perfect balance and flexibility. It's the position recommended by us and most riding instructors. Over 96% of our customers are happy with this position.
That said, some riders have personal preferences and we'd like to accommodate those by offering alternative magnet positions for our insoles in size EU37 and larger. If you know that you are a toe rider, you can review the available magnet positions for your shoe size by downloading these PDFs.
The PDFs indicate the standard position we deliver. If you wish to get one of the alternative positions, please do the following:
- Place your order with the correct size (e.g EU39)
- Contact us right after placing your order - you can simply answer to your order confirmation email or use our chat in the lower right corner. Simply tell us the position you would like to receive (a, b, or c). There are no additional costs.
Optional: Deciding between Standard and PLUS versions
By default, our magnetic safety stirrups come with our Standard insoles. If you wish to receive the PLUS version with your order, you can let us know after placing your order and we will upgrade you free of charge. The differences between the two versions are explained here.
Our magnetic stirrups always contain the same magnets, but the magnetic strength can be varied by choosing a different insole model as follows:
STANDARD
Our STANDARD version comes with our magnetic safety stirrups by default. It offers just the right magnetic power for most cases: Your stirrups stay at your feet while riding, but still allow you to release them with a simple motion. The vast majority of our customers - over 95% - are perfectly happy with this version.
PLUS
Our PLUS version is for those who need (or want) a little more adhesion. We usually recommend them to professional riders as well as para riders. They also work great for shoes with thicker soles, to balance out the loss in magnetic power that comes with thicker shoe soles. Note: The PLUS version is ca. 6mm thick, which is 1mm more than the STANDARD version.
Both versions will release reliably in case of a fall.

Common Questions
Can I really use the product?
Yes, absolutely. We actually want you to use the product and test it to its full extend. So you can make sure that you like it long-term 🙂
Why do you offer this guarantee?
We know that our magnetic stirrups are different from other stirrups on the market, so you might not exactly know what to expect. But we also know that you will most certainly fall in love with them – once you tried them. So logically we decided that you should have the chance to try them 🙂
(And frankly, we just don’t see a point in having anybody keep a product they don’t like or get along with.)
What if I have any questions during the test period?
Please get in touch with us at any point through our live chat or contact form. We are here to help and support you.
What if I don’t get along with the product?
That can absolutely happen. We’ve all been there – having ordered a product we really like, but somehow we don’t get along with it. It just doesn’t seem to be the right fit. No worries. We’ve got you covered. That’s what our guarantee is for.
How much money do I get back?
You get back the full purchase price, i.e. the amount of money you paid excluding shipping costs (if you paid any).
How can you afford this guarantee?
We really do put a lot of effort into our products! So we are sure that every product we ship is of highest quality, carefully packed, and just an amazing product. So we don't have many customers returning products, which allows us to offer this guarantee.
Is Ophena well established?
Yes, we are a Swedish company with customers in over 50 countries. We are known for our outstanding customer service and promise we won't disappoint you should any issues arise. Why don’t you check our reviews. 🙂
