Goalkeeper gloves for women

Which Goalkeeper Gloves for Which Surface?

Just like with football shoes, it is important to choose the right goalkeeper gloves for the surface you are playing on! Using goalkeeper gloves designed for natural grass on artificial grass will likely cause them to wear out much faster. Goalkeeper gloves for natural grass have a softer foam layer than gloves for artificial grass. This soft foam provides a lot of grip, but it will also wear out more quickly if used on the wrong surface. If you primarily play on artificial grass or indoors, it's best to choose hardground goalkeeper gloves! These gloves have a firmer, more durable foam layer, meaning they will last longer. While it's not necessarily wrong to use goalkeeper gloves for natural grass on artificial grass or indoor surfaces, they will last longer when used on the surface they are designed for.

Goalkeeper Gloves with or without Fingersave

There are goalkeeper gloves with Fingersave and without. Goalkeeper gloves with Fingersave protect your fingers from hyperextension. They also offer protection against collisions or when someone steps on your hands with their studs. Goalkeeper gloves with Fingersave feature a built-in support behind the fingers. This reduces the risk of injury, but it also restricts your movement slightly. Choose the gloves that feel most comfortable for you.

Which Size Goalkeeper Gloves for Women?

The required size can vary depending on the brand. Therefore, you’ll find a size chart with the gloves to check which size is suitable for you. The gloves are too small if you can already feel pressure on the seams when you are simply wearing them. If the ball hits the gloves, it could put pressure on the seams and cause them to tear. It’s better to choose a slightly larger glove than a smaller one.

The Best Goalkeeper Gloves for Women

Goalkeeper gloves come in different price ranges. The price difference is mainly due to the thickness of the foam and whether the gloves have Fingersave. The thicker the foam, the more grip it provides. The grip doesn't decrease when there are signs of wear on the foam. Only when the canvas of the gloves shows through the foam will the grip diminish. You can still use them as training gloves. It’s always good to have a pair for training and a pair for matches, so you always have gloves with optimal grip during the game.

How to Maintain Goalkeeper Gloves?

By maintaining your goalkeeper gloves properly, you can significantly extend their lifespan. Clean your goalkeeper gloves after training or a match with lukewarm running water from the tap. Do not use a hard brush. Do not wring out wet gloves, but gently squeeze them. Always keep the goalkeeper gloves slightly damp. Wet, damp gloves improve grip and prolong the life of the gloves. If you’re not using the gloves for a while, occasionally dampen them to prevent drying out and cracking. For example, you can leave them in a damp towel.
