How to Size Goalkeeper Gloves:
The most effective method of determining the size of a goalie’s glove is to take a measurement of how long the hand of the goalie starting from the middle finger up to the point on the palm. The general rule is to round up and then add the size. The hand size of seven inches is an 8 size. Hand measurement is 7.5 inches. 7.5 inches plus .5 to round it up + 1 is 9 inches. Sizes for goalie gloves for kids are much more challenging. The best cut for a glove is dependent on personal preferences and the body kind.
