What Size Goalkeeper Gloves Should I Go For?

Consult the table to find how our gloves measure up.

Please note: this table should be used as a rough starting point. Each model, style and goalkeeper's hand will have slight differences. You won't truly know your perfect size until you wear your first glove. If the fit isn’t as you wish, you can swap it for another size.

Important: Personalised gloves can’t be returned or exchanged, so please only add personalisation if you’re completely sure of your size.

Tip:

You do not want your gloves too tight and touching the very tips of the fingers, nor do you want too much excess space causing it to feel "floppy". A glove that is too tight could tear/rip easier and a glove too spacious won't instill confidence.

How to Measure Your Hand Size

If this is your first ever hand sizing, remember that if your pair of OGs are unused and in original packaging they can always be exchanged for a size up or down.

1

Measure your hand

Measure your palm horizontally, as per the guide.

2

Match your measurement to the chart

Use your measurement to find your size in the chart.

3

Dial in your fit

No two hands are the same, and every cut fits its own way. If you’re between sizes, use your playing style and preference to guide you - tighter for precision, looser for freedom.



Fit’s personal. Some keepers go for a snug wrap, others prefer a looser feel. The right size comes down to what feels best once you’ve tried them on. Need a hand? Reach out to support@theoneglove.com - we’ll guide you through it.

The Importance of Getting the Right Fit for Your Goalkeeper Gloves

Getting the fit right is extremely important, a correctly fitting glove means more comfort, more confidence and the most natural contact with the ball. A glove too tight can put greater stress on the materials and lead to premature wear or even splits, a glove too loose could cause an unnatural grip of the ball. With that said glove fits are a personal preference, some may prefer more space and others a more snug feel (which is why you will see some keepers opt for tighter cuts like 'Negative', or some the looser cuts like 'Flat Palm' or 'Roll Finger').

As a general rule, you measure your hands for gloves across the palm in a straight line. However, you may want to consider taking into account the thickness of the goalkeeper glove, as this will inevitably add a little extra bulk to the measure. For further accuracy, use our glove sizing tool print out.

If your glove arrives and it isn’t quite right or wasn’t what you’re expecting then consult our returns policy for further information.
