You've had those days in goal, where you've dived long, landed hard, got your fingers to the ball as it was flashing by and you think "YES...what a save!", unfortunately your fingers didn't quite hold up and it snuck into the corner....
Well no more, when I found these gloves this season, I was immediately taken by them, the shop didn't have my size, didn't know when they would get some more, so I took one size smaller and they've worked out well.
The strengthened strips in the back of each finger serve several purposes :
1. They add strength to your fingers when making saves that require that "fingertip" touch
2. They stop your fingers being bent back and injured on all parts of your hand
3. They give some protection for stubbing your finger on the ball and from doing damage to your finger tips.
Punching is also much more fun, however I've found that the reinforced backings make punching a little more difficult as the backs tend to be rounded off rather than flat, so be careful on punches until you get used to it.
Grip is good, both in dry and wet weather, so far my gloves have not worn down enough for me to comment on how the grip acts after continual use.
Final words, in door footie these are also excellent, for when you need to go in close up and dive in at players feet giving good protection for kicks and being stepped on.
Over the past 4 years I would say these are the best gloves I have bought. I would recommend them for all levels of players of all ages.
