I read about the Hilason treeless saddle in this guide and have to agree that this is a problem with more kinds than that. I purchased a Barefoot saddle and it is the same: the stirrups are set so far back that it feels like you will fall on your face. The barefoot also has a hard strip of velcro right up the middle where you sit. That also does not make it comfortable. My advice is to think twice before you purchase a treeless. They don't live up to the hype.
