Advantages: Protection from breaks and increased control Disadvantages: Can be a bit strange at first if not used to fingersaves but easy to adapt to!
I thought I would write this review as I have had a great experience with this product. I'm no professional, though play football at a respectable level and consider myself to be a promising young goalkeeper.
I had never bothered with fingersave gloves before I broke my index finger in a game last year. I decided following it's recovery that I should invest in a pair of fingersave gloves. I must admit I had my reservations about these in particular with respect to mobility. I thought the bending of the fingers would be restricted too much but I was wrong.
I invested in a pair of these and they have been brilliant, no problems whatsoever. If there is anyone out there not wearing fingersave gloves, then invest in a pair, because you only need to break a finger that refuses to heal properly and you've got problems. These gloves ...
Advantages: Stunning looks, very comfortable. Disadvantages: Very poor grip
Since being young I have been borderline obsessed with goalkeepergloves. In my late teens and early 20's I was buying up to 8 pairs of gloves a season. Outrageous, yes maybe, but I was hooked with the feel and optimism that a new pair of gloves would bring. My mates bought boots by the, er, boot load, I however always opted for gloves.

I fell for these gloves immediately and parted with something in the region of £65 for them. I had made a mistake.
The main problem with these gloves is the foam. 4mm latex palms are what you would expect from professional quality gloves, but by my own admission the SGT technology was an intriguing concept ...
Advantages: Design, weight, comfort Disadvantages: Ball sometimes sticks
The PumaV1.08 is a amazing football boot. The variety of colours that it comes in is just the start. The boot is a great fit, lightweight and ultra comfortable which makes playing feel as if you are in bare feet. The boot as a good fit to the foot which makes control better and easier.
The design of the boot is very stylish and in the right colour goes great with any kit.
The positioning of the blades also provides great grip on firm ground. Whilst the off centre lacing makes striking the ball much truer and gives a better connection with the ball.
The only down side is the ball will sometimes stick to the upper of the boot when the ball is at close control and doesnt happen all the time. This is mainly when playin for the first time in them and is no reason not to buy such a great product. ...
