Glove Size Guide - How to Measure

How to measure your hand

1. Wrap a tape measure around your palm, just below the knuckles, keeping your thumb out of the way.
2. Read the measurement in inches.
3. Round up to the next whole inch, then add 1. That number is your glove size.

Example: a palm measuring 6.5 inches rounds up to 7, add 1, so you are a size 8.

Measure both hands. If they come out differently, order the larger size.

Size chart

Sizes 4 to 7 are our junior range and 8 to 11 our adult range. If your measurement works out below a size 5, choose size 4 and check the fit at the fingertips.

What a good fit feels like

A goalkeeper glove should sit snugly with roughly a quarter of an inch of space beyond your longest fingertip. Too tight and the latex is stretched thin across the palm, which costs you grip and splits the glove early. Too loose and the glove moves independently of your hand when you catch.

Between two sizes?

The cut changes the fit as much as the size does. A negative cut is stitched inside the glove and sits tightest, so go up a size if you are borderline. A roll finger fits true to size, so go with your measurement. A flat palm is the roomiest cut. Read the cut guide before you decide.

Measure at the right time

Hands swell when they are warm and shrink in the cold. Measure at room temperature, not straight after training or a match.

Buying for a child?

Measure their hand exactly the same way. It takes a minute and it is far more reliable than guessing from their age — two eleven-year-olds can be three glove sizes apart.

If they fall between sizes, or they are mid growth spurt, go up rather than down. A glove slightly too big still catches. A glove that is too tight gets taken off at half time.

Still not sure?

Send us the measurement and we will tell you which size to order. It is a great deal quicker than sending a pair back.

Wrong size?

Try them on with the protective film still on the palm. If the size is wrong, you can exchange or return them within 14 days in their original condition and packaging. Once the film is removed we cannot take latex gloves back. See our returns policy.
