FAQs

What is the main advantage of the negative cut design?

The negative cut design features seams that are placed inside the glove, offering a tighter, more snug fit. This maximizes the surface area of contact between your hand and the ball, leading to improved feel and control.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your hand at its widest point (excluding the thumb) and consult the Mitre sizing chart. The gloves should fit snugly without being uncomfortably tight.

Can I use these gloves for matches, or are they only for training?

The Mitre Impel Goalkeeper Gloves are described as a training essential for all levels of the game and are designed to offer protection and performance. They can certainly be used for matches, particularly at amateur or training levels.

How long will the grip last?

The longevity of the grip depends on usage frequency, playing surface, and proper care. Regular cleaning and avoiding abrasive surfaces will help maintain optimal grip for a longer period.

Is the EVA punchzone flexible?

The EVA cushioned back hand punchzone is designed to provide protection and aid in deflecting strikes. While it offers some flexibility, it is firmer than the palm area to provide a solid surface for punching.

What is the purpose of the latex thumb wrap?

The latex thumb wrap serves two main purposes: it offers extra protection to the thumb area, which is vulnerable to impact, and it extends the grippy latex surface, enhancing ball control when handling.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel too tight or stiff.

The gloves may require a break-in period. Wear them for short training sessions, gently flexing your hands. Avoid over-tightening the wrist strap initially.

Reduced grip after use.

Ensure the gloves are clean and dry. Sweat and dirt can significantly reduce latex grip. Follow the care instructions for cleaning and drying. Avoid touching excessively oily or dirty surfaces.

Stitching appears to be coming undone.

Inspect the stitching carefully. Minor loose threads can often be trimmed. If significant stitching is failing, contact the retailer for potential warranty claims, as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Wrist strap not holding securely.

Check that the hook and loop fastener is clean and free from debris. Ensure the strap is positioned correctly and tightened firmly but not uncomfortably. If the hook and loop is worn out, it may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Mitre Impel Goalkeeper Gloves are designed for immediate use. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. Adjust the elastic strap and hook and loop fastening system to secure the glove around your wrist, utilizing the in-built tab for easier adjustment. The negative cut may feel tight initially; allow a brief break-in period for the gloves to conform to your hand shape.

Compatibility: These gloves are suitable for all levels of play and are designed for use on various pitch types, primarily for training. While durable, prolonged use on abrasive surfaces may affect the grip over time.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your gloves:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the gloves after each use with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the gloves to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the latex and foam.
  3. Storage: Store the gloves in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in a glove bag or the original packaging can help maintain their shape and protect the materials.
