How Do I Pick The Correct Glove Size For My Hand?
This is a question we often get asked.....
With so many glove brands on the market today, you may find some variations in size and fit.
Making sure that you find the right fit in your goalkeeper gloves is vitally important, it may come down to comfort, feel and mindset 'feel good, play good'.
The fit of a glove is a personal preference so considering the palm can be a factor as well.
Some goalkeepers may prefer a more spacious glove, and others a more snug-fitting glove.
Glove fittings such as ‘Negative cut’ tend to be tighter, whereas some of the looser cuts such as ‘Flat Palm’ and ‘Roll Finger’ offer a looser-fitting goalkeeper glove.
Here we have a general guide and a measurement to help you further.
General Guide
Although many gloves are pretty true to size, different styles and designs can come up slightly differently so here is a size guide chart.
It's generally a good guide, however as this is based on averages we highly recommend checking the dedicated measurement guide under this general guide.

How To Measure Your Goalkeeping Gloves?
As a general rule, measure your goalkeeping gloves from the tip of your middle finger and down to the bottom of your palm (height). However, you may want to consider taking into account the thickness of the goalkeeper glove, as this will inevitably add a little extra bulk to the measurement.
We advise that adding 0.5cm to your measurement in order to allow for a little bit more room in your glove. Then measure your outer palm to your thumb tip (width).
If your glove arrives and it isn’t quite right or wasn’t what you’re expecting then consult our returns policy for further information.
