Finding the perfect glove fit is largely based on personal preference, which can take time to determine.
If you're an experienced goalkeeper, you most likely have a good idea of your preferred fit. But for those of you who are new to the game, we recommend keeping a few things in mind.
Goalkeeper gloves are predominately worn somewhat loose, or slightly larger than your actual hand size. This extra room allows for some movement upon contact with the ball to help "cushion" the impact, which allows the goalkeeper to control a ball that is moving powerfully. Typically, a keeper's fingertip should not touch the tip of the glove, nor should there be so much room that the glove feels sloppy.
As a player I like to find a glove that fits snug to my fingers and then go a 1/2 size larger. Generally ¼" – ½" of extra length is preferred. If you don't have a ruler handy, a thumbnail's worth of extra finger length is good.
If you have a ruler, measure the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to the end of your palm where it meets your wrist. If your hand measurement is 7 inches, go one size larger and purchase a size 8. For half sizes, i.e. 7.5 inches, round up to the nearest full number (8) and purchase a size 9.
We recommend measuring both hands. Don't assume both your hands are the exact same size. Measure both, and purchase according to the larger measurement.
