I love the speed stirrups...Just got a new Goliath X4 stand. The lower portion of the stand doesn't fall off b/c there is a bungee cord that attaches across the frame just above the stirrups, and you hook your heels into the bungee cords then into the stirrups (if that makes any sense). It totally alleviates the problem of having to bend down to get your boots into the nylon stirrups.
