  • Goal Keeper Glove Sizing Guide

     

    Let’s face it; buying most fitted items online is harder than one would think. All manufacturers have their own sizing and slight variances to cause an item like gloves to fit different. There is a general method to finding your glove size which is listed below in an easy step by step process. This step by step process is also on every goalie glove page. Also, there are more detailed attributes of the glove sizing listed underneath the picture of the gloves. Feel free to browse our selection of gloves http://www.authenticsoccer.com/soccer-goal-keeper-gloves.aspx

    step1 Measure the circumference of the fullest part of the palm, excluding the thumb.
    step2 Round up to the next highest inch. Then add 1 to the measurement to determine your glove size: (ex. 8″ + 1 = 9) Thus 9 would be the glove size.
    step3 Measure both hands to determine if one hand is bigger than the other. Take the bigger size and open up our size chart and find the corresponding glove size. This size is very generic, you must do one more step.
    step4 Look down the list of the gloves attributes to see the specific sizing of the product. If a glove runs a “half size small” then move up to the next size. Remember: Goalkeeping gloves should be worn big, as much as 1.5″ over the length of your fingers.
