Choosing the right goalkeeper glove size is one of the most important decisions a keeper can make. Too small and movement feels restricted. Too large and you lose feel and control on the ball.
This guide covers how to measure your hand, how Reusch sizing works and what to consider when choosing between cuts and glove styles.
Why Glove Fit Matters
A goalkeeper glove that fits correctly gives you good palm contact with the ball, natural wrist movement and confidence when catching. Even a premium glove can feel wrong if the size is wrong.
How to Measure Your Hand for Goalkeeper Gloves
Measure around the widest part of your dominant palm, excluding the thumb, using a flexible tape measure or a piece of string.
- Wrap the tape around the widest part of the palm, just below the knuckles.
- Keep the hand relaxed rather than stretched.
- Note the measurement in centimetres.
- Compare it with the size guide below.

Fit tip: goalkeeper gloves should feel snug without compressing the fingertips or restricting the hand.
Junior vs Adult Reusch Gloves
Junior and adult gloves can overlap around sizes 7 and 8, but the construction and palm proportions may differ. For younger players, start with the junior range; for older teens and adults, compare fit rather than choosing by age alone.

Understanding Reusch Glove Cuts
Negative Cut
Internal seams create a closer, more fitted feel around the fingers. This is popular with keepers who want a precise, second-skin fit.
Flat Cut
A more traditional construction with a roomier feel, useful for keepers who prefer space around the fingers.
Hybrid Cut
Combines elements of multiple cuts to balance close fit, comfort and catching surface.
Reusch Latex Types
Reusch uses different palm foams across its range, from durable training-oriented latex to premium match foams designed for stronger grip. The best choice depends on how often you train, the surfaces you play on and whether the glove is primarily for matches or practice.
What Is Freegel?
Freegel is used across several Reusch models to create a lightweight, flexible backhand and punching zone. Different Freegel gloves use different wrist and palm constructions, so choose the model based on overall fit and intended use rather than the technology name alone.
Finger Protection: Do You Need It?
Finger-support systems add structure to help limit unwanted backward movement of the fingers. Some keepers prefer that additional support; others prefer maximum flexibility and direct ball feel.
How to Care for Reusch Goalkeeper Gloves
- Dampen match latex appropriately before use.
- Rinse gently after sessions.
- Never machine wash or tumble dry.
- Air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Rotate training and match pairs if you play frequently.
