How to Size Goalkeeper Gloves:
The best method to determine the size of a goalie’s glove is to take a measurement of how long the hand of the goalie starting from the middle finger until the tip on the palm. It is generally recommended to round up and then add an additional size. A hand measurement that is 7 inches is an 8 size. Hand measurement is 7.5 inches. 7.5 inches plus .5 to round it up + 1 equals 9 inches. Sizes for goalie gloves for kids are quite difficult. Finding the right cut of glove is determined by preferences and the body kind.
Goalkeeper Glove Sizing Guide:
It’s not a perfect method of research since each goalkeeper’s hand differs.
Goalkeeping gloves should be slightly larger than the size of your hand. A goalkeeper’s finger shouldn’t be in contact with the top of the glove, nor should there be any space which makes the glove feel rough. The typical range is 1/8″ up to 1/8″ across the top of your fingertip or a thumbnail length in case you don’t have a ruler in your bag.
Here are some suggestions to make better guesses. If you don’t have a soccer shop nearby to and try on a pair of shoes, there are two standard methods of determining the correct size.
An alternative is to determine the circumference of your widest part of the palm.
Take the measurement of the circumference of the largest part of your palm, excluding the thumb. Round it up until the next inch. Add one” on top of the measurements to calculate your glove’s measurement.
Make sure you measure both hands before ordering the larger size. When you are sizing the keeper’s glove the fingers must be at least a 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch away from at the highest point of your glove.
