FAQs

How do I choose the correct size for these gloves?

To find your size, measure the circumference of your palm just below your knuckles, excluding your thumb. Also, measure the length from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger. Compare these measurements to the adidas sizing chart (Info needed: Specific sizing chart or general advice for finding it).

Can I remove the Fingersave spines for more flexibility?

The Fingersave spines in these gloves are designed to offer a balance of stiffness for protection and flexibility for movement. They are integrated into the glove's structure and are generally not designed for user removal. Attempting to remove them may damage the glove and void any warranty.

How often should I clean my gloves?

It's recommended to hand wash your gloves after every use, especially after intense training or matches. This removes sweat, dirt, and bacteria, helping to maintain the latex's grip and extend the glove's lifespan.

Are these gloves suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, the `Soft Grip Pro rubber palms` are designed to provide reliable grip and cushioning in various weather conditions, including both dry and wet environments.

What is the best way to store my goalkeeper gloves?

After cleaning and air drying, store your gloves flat or loosely rolled with the palms facing each other. Keep them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a glove bag, to prevent the latex from sticking or being exposed to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

How long do these gloves typically last?

The lifespan of goalkeeper gloves varies greatly depending on frequency of use, intensity of play, and adherence to care instructions. With proper care, these gloves are built for durability through a season of regular play. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces or improper cleaning will shorten their lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Gloves losing grip or feeling slippery.

The latex palm can dry out or accumulate dirt. Before use, lightly dampen the palm with water for better grip. After use, hand wash the gloves thoroughly to remove dirt and sweat, then air dry properly. Avoid touching dirt or abrasive surfaces with the palms when possible.

Finger protection (spines) feels uncomfortable or restrictive.

Ensure you have the correct glove size; gloves that are too small can cause discomfort. Over time, the stiff fingersave spines should conform slightly to your hand shape. If persistent discomfort occurs, ensure the spines are correctly aligned within their channels. Some players prefer removing spines for increased flexibility, though these gloves' spines are designed to be integrated for stiff yet flexible support.

Wrist strap not feeling secure or coming undone during play.

Adjust the `half wrap wrist strap` for a tighter fit. Ensure the strap is wrapped firmly around your wrist to provide adequate compression and support. If the strap material has stretched over time, it might be an indicator of wear, or you may need to adjust the tension more tightly.

Latex palm cracking or hardening prematurely.

This often occurs due to improper drying or exposure to harsh conditions. Always air dry your gloves away from direct sunlight or heat. Never machine wash or tumble dry. Ensure they are thoroughly rinsed of sweat and dirt after each use, as these can also degrade the latex.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced Grip and Control: Soft Pro latex and Soft Grip Pro rubber palms offer excellent ball handling.
  • Superior Finger Protection: Fingersave spines reduce the risk of injury from impact or hyperextension.
  • Secure and Stable Fit: Half wrap wrist straps keep gloves snugly in place.
  • All-Weather Performance: Designed to maintain grip and cushioning in various weather conditions.
  • Durable Materials: Constructed with robust polyester and rubber for longevity.

Cons

  • Limited Finger Flexibility: The stiff Fingersave spines, while protective, may slightly reduce natural finger dexterity for some users.
  • Specific Care Requirements: Requires hand washing and careful drying to maintain material integrity and performance.
  • Initial Break-in Period: Spines and palm material may feel rigid initially, requiring a few uses to conform to hand shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Preparation: Ensure your hands are clean and dry before putting on the gloves.
  2. Slide On: Gently slide each hand into the glove, ensuring your fingers align correctly with the finger slots, especially with the Fingersave spines.
  3. Secure the Strap: Wrap the `half wrap wrist strap` firmly around your wrist. Adjust the tension to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that supports your wrist without restricting blood flow.
  4. Check Fit: Your fingers should reach near the end of the glove's fingertips without being cramped or having too much excess space.

Compatibility

These gloves are specifically designed for goalkeeping in football (soccer). They are suitable for use on various playing surfaces including natural grass and artificial turf. The `Soft Grip Pro rubber palms` are engineered for performance in both dry and wet conditions.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the grip, durability, and protective qualities of your gloves:

  1. Hand Wash Only: After each use, hand wash your gloves using lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or a washing machine, as these can damage the latex and other materials.
  2. Gentle Cleaning: Gently rub the palms and soiled areas with your fingers to remove dirt and grass stains. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the gloves under lukewarm water until all soap residue is removed.
  4. Air Dry: Squeeze out excess water gently (do not wring). Allow the gloves to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Drying too quickly or with heat can cause the latex to crack and harden.
  5. Storage: Store gloves flat or rolled loosely with the palms facing each other to prevent the latex from sticking or cracking. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
  6. Refer to Label: Always check the product label for specific care instructions, as they may contain additional details.
