How To Measure Goalkeeper Glove Size

It’s actually really straight forward to measure your hand to determine the best glove size for you. If you have a ruler or tape measure you can take the following steps to find out your glove size.

Step 1 - Palm Width - measure the width from the bottom of your little finger to the bottom of your index/pointing fingers (measurement A in the chart)

Step 2 - Palm Width Including Thumb - measure the width from the bottom of your little finger to the end of your outstretched thumb (measurement B in the chart)

Step 3 - Palm Length - measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your palm (measurement C in the chart)

Once you have these measurements you can use the table below to determine the best size goalkeeper glove for you.

There are a couple of points worth noting with the above. You may find that the different measurements you take fall within different sizes in the table. If that’s the case many keepers’ tend to use the palm length measurement to decide which size goalkeeper glove to buy.

You should also keep in mind that some goalkeepers may have a personal preference when it comes to glove fit. Some may prefer gloves that are a little longer and broader, whilst other goalkeepers might opt for slightly smaller gloves that offer a tighter fit.
