I received a small but digs into the skin between my fingers & snug in palm and fingers. Is that normal at first and get better? Or may need medium?

I would go for the medium because you have the wrist straps to secure the gloves. You don't want to restrict circulation because you will have them on for the most part. If you can't open and close your fingers and hands comfortably change the size.

I kind of just guessed. I have very skinny fingers (biggest ring size is a 5.5) and small hands so I assumed that I was a small, and they ended up fitting perfectly. So if you're a little bit bigger, I'd go for a medium, and if your hands are quite bigger than that, a large. The wrist band is adjustable so it's really mainly the fingers that you have to be concerned about, but, like I said, mine are ring size 5.5 for the biggest and between 5-5 for all other digits besides the pinkies and thumbs so you can use that as a reference. The material also stretches a little

Nancy, I got these quite a while ago. I love them! I wear a size 5-1/2 ring. The gloves I got fit me perfectly. I got the medium.

I assume you are measuring your palm...and if so, my palm is about the same - I have a medium...

Good question! I had no idea how to determine the correct size, and I could not find anything to help me out. I am a small woman, and I got the size 1 and it fit while my finger was still swollen. Try looking online at the Stax website, but for a man, I would definitely go up a size or two! I agree with both the responses below - proper fit is essential to proper healing, and I used band-aids to hold mine in place. Good luck!

Greetings; I returned a pair of Med. size because they were way too small for my husband. I got a large which were still too small for him so I use them and to answer your question, they have "given" a little, but are still on the "small/snug" side for me. I don't think there really is enough flexibility in these to allow for a proper fit in time. The manufacturer of these and so many other work gloves I "test" need to do a better job of sizing for the US customer base. Hope this helps, all best.

If you have small hands, you should get a smaller size. I have medium to large hands and these are nice and snug.

[Guy here] They don't specify if it is gender-specific. However, I have small hands, so I bought a small, and it turned out to be extremely tight. It fits, but if I bend my wrist in a gripping fashion I cannot bend all the way without feeling excessive strain on the leather (feels like it might rip from the stress). I would've preferred to have gotten a medium in retrospect. A lot of reviews also suggest getting one size up.Not sure if that helped, but my two cents.

If your hands are smaller then size small, I recommend just wraps you can wrap your hands with a silicone knuckle cover if you need added protection.

I have a medium The width of my palm just below the fingers is 3 1/4 inches. My gloves fit great not too loose or to tight. They have a little stretch to them and they have a leather palm so they do stretch alittle after you where them a while. Hope this helps.

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

Hello friend... I also have small hands and I purchased the large. They are very snugged so anything else than large will be to small even for small hands. If you get large and they are a little loose( which I doubt because you can secured them with the Velcro straps) you can always add one tape wrap around your hands before you put this one on. But trust me they are very snug. So a large will be fine for you. I hope that will help. :-) I love mine!!

No, they were not too /super tight. I have rather long,slim fingers (now with an arthritic bump or two) and they were just right for me. Excellent buy in very good quality gloves. The material is soft and just stretchy enough to be comfortable. Hope this helps!

I got a Small and it fit perfectly, My middle finger wears a size 6 ring, so used that as a guide to help you order. If your the same or close go with the small if more medium will be your fit

My hand measures 3" and I use the small. They are perfect, and they also stretch. I think you may be okay, you do not want them big. The little bit of tightness is comforting.

I got medium, and my fingers are short (compared to my friends). So yes, you'd very likely need the large.

Thank You All for your wonderful response's! A comment to R. Cheatham..yes I did measure around the palm not including the thumb. I should have been more clear when writing my question - OOOPS! I haven't ever purchased gardening or any other glove online before - in store's only and don't have any of my gardening gloves left to check on a size...forget memory...LOL. I would really like to try these gloves they sound like they would be a dream to use. Thank You All Again
