They hurt my fingers. Should they be trimmed or broken in somehow to make them fit between my fingers better?

The first time that happened to me as well. I used water to make the leather more playable at first. Now after a few months they are broken in and work much better. They will be tight the first few times out but moisture makes them better after a few uses.

The openings appear to made for children's fingers. I used a knife to cut the openings from a square into a much bigger oval and they worked perfectly. It's been months and I still use them daily

You could use any kind of hand cream to soften the leather. Apply 3-4 times within 2-3 days. Cream should be applied 3 minutes before wearing them. I learned this trick from a pro. :)

Mine fit perfect and I don't have that issue. Maybe a size up might help? I have used mine 3 mos. and they fit the same between the fingers so you might try cutting the holes a bit...? I hope this helps!

I sure think these could be trimmed down. After closely looking at then I can't imagine why not. Go for it!

They are a hard plastic, which I think could be cut to size. I don't think you would have an issue.

I think they are one size fits all. You just bend them around your fingers. Sorry ... I can't find mine right now, but I don't remember seeing any size indication on them.

Just trim around heel area with sharp knife or scissors. That is my problem as well.

Actually the thinner the better for your nails, mine were crooked too but they turned out OK, I even put half ones on my thumbs. I used a straight edge razor blade to cut mine

Get your finger nail or something on one corner and pull in a downward fashion. They are a tight fit. That's why I love them!

You may have purchased to small of a size. My hands feel great while I'm wearing the gloves and after I remove them.

You probably could trim them to size, it would be fairly easy to cut with a pair of good kitchen shears. Seems like the original packaging said something about how to trim them, but I no longer have any of it.

Yes they are a little on the small size. By that I mean you have to be careful putting them on while you pull hard and try to wiggle into them.I haven't ripped one yet.After I get them on they feel tight on my hands but I may get used to that because I don't like looseness at the finger tips.If I can't get used to them then I will by the next larger size if I purchase the same brand again.

They should be easy to trim with a pair sharp zissors as they are made of thin material as described. I know I could trim them. They are not hard plastic like inserts you would get from a podiatrist. They are flexible so I would try them in the shoes first by leaving the bottom paper on so they don't stick to the shoe. You might be surprise at how well they fit the shoe for an in-between size.

Have you played before? If not than that's normal. I haven't played in years and they hurt my fingers for the first few times.

Guess it depends on your personal condition. I have arthritis in my hands and tendon damage in my right thumb. I wanted to make sure I'd be able to use them so I stopped into the craft store that carried them and tried them thru the plastic packaging. They're too difficult to use for me but might be fine for you.

theyre half-moon shaped i'd say an inch across by 3/4" high. they need trimming to the size and shape you want. use very sharp scissors or a razor knife. my first set i trimmed too small so remember you can always trim a little more to get them just so but once trimmed you're stuck with them. you can even leave them a little big and put them on for a day or two before taking them off for the final, and hopefully perfect trim.

hi Lindsey,before i used my fingers but now i use the shape sponges with a bit of setting spray. But your fingers are fine as well.

Absolutely! Just break them in a little first. I wear them 9+ hours a day and love them!
