I had been riding in regular old cheap irons for a year and a half after I lent my dressage saddle out and it returned with no leathers or irons. I had a cheapie pair given to me so I rode in those until I got a new jumping saddle and got new leathers and irons to go with it. Now my right leg and ankle feel like they are on fire.
