I need a glove that won't slip when I do push-ups on a hard wood floor. Will these work for that?

Hi Agb, I had no problem doing push-ups with these gloves on the gym's wood floor.

I use these when I do push-ups and have never had a problem. I suggest getting a medium so it doesn't rub against your palm too much as well

I can't say for sure but I think they would be okay for that. My problem was with gripping the weights and the fingers stretching out that the material bunched up at the ends of the fingers.

There is a slight slippage. I think over time there would be a lot of slippage. I did not have any slippage when I did push ups on a throw rug that has low cut thread.

Ultra Paws makes a Traction Boot for slippery floors that Amazon carries.http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gTXDNklGL.jpg

yes, they stop from slipping on floor but they fit really tight around the dogs paws so I worry with my dog that they are cutting off her circulation. I personally only put them on when I'm taking her out for a walk no longer than 40 mins.

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

I do have a little trouble with my hands so I do think the fitness gloves would be a big help. I have problems with one of my knees so I kneel on a pillow. The extra cushion helps.

I've had no slippage. I also always wear gardening gloves for protection from insects, critters, thorns, etc.

They are very good at what they do. They have a plastic backing on them. You need a pad holder, then cut some pieces off a rug pad and glue onto the bottom of the pad holder. That should help to stop any slipping on your wood floors.

sure, but i wouldn't use them for that. They probably won't last you very long if you do any serious lifting. Plus, you usually want to have the fingertips cut off for lifting to offer more breathability. Personally, i use Harbinger wrist wrap gloves for lifting (about $20), which last me several years, and have the added bonus of the wrist wrap to support the wrist when lifting really heavy weights.

I use these on a couch with a tile floor; I can move the couch, but with difficulty. I think they are designed to primarily keep the couch from sliding.

I wouldn't use them for that purpose. There is a slightly raised pattern on them (making them great for a non-slip surface). They are great on a basement floor to add a level of comfort for joints when doing plyo, aerobics, placing fitness machines on as well as layig a yoga mat on. But I don't think they are the type of mat designed well for Jiu Jitsu or wrestling.

Hi. These mats are very thin for heavy equipment. They should work as far as preventing the floor from scratching, but in my opinion, you would need a thicker mat for exercise equipment.

Yes- these should be great! These are thick and soft, but should stay on a gym floor without much slipping. The basketball can also be bounced on the spot without sending it all over the place.

Absolutely. They fit snug, I don't really want loose gloves. They have a lot of friction and recover very quickly if they get dirt or water on them. Would definitely buy them again.

At first you're not gonna get any grip, then after a little while wear, the gloves will get better with grip. If you're dealing with small nuts and bolts it might be a lil difficult to handle, because the gloves are insulated in em. It's like wearing 2 gloves. Other than that they're the most durable work gives I ever owned.

Russell, this is Ken at the help desk. My hand is quite large. My width is 4.75" and the thickness is 2.25". They slip on fairly easy for me, though I think a larger hand would have problems. Measure your hand width and thickness just below the thumb joint, and see if yours is larger than my hand. Length really is not a problem. Hope that helps.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

No. The gloves are form fitting and snug around the wrist to prevent any dirt from getting in.
