where is the padding? Palm side or knuckle side? Would this work as weight lifting gym gloves?

Padding is on the knuckle side. Yes, I sometimes use them as weight lifting gloves.

Knuckle side as these are for striking. I doubt these would hold up well as weight lifting gloves because they are nylon/cloth and weights would shred these pretty quickly.

hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing... » Read More hi danika,these will give you some more support, but i found that after using them for a bit the gel padding area broke open, and that although they covered the knuckle where your finger joins your hand, they do not protect the next knuckle out, which still got pretty beat up. i switched to everlast wrist support heavy bag gloves, which work much better for support and protection, but are still flexible enough after a bit of breaking in to be comfortable. i also got a pair of cheap dollar store stretchy winter gloves, cut off each finger about half way, and wear them under the boxing gloves. it absorbs the perspiration and keeps the boxing glove cleaner. hope this helps!kathi « Show Less

I'm female with pretty decent sized hands (I weightlift) I ordered a medium as my hand is 7.5" (measured by me & Hubz): medium was HUGE on me. I sent it back & ordered a small, they are still HUGE on me. But if I order an XS the fingers will be too short. They're great gloves & I wish they fit & worked but sadly not made for a woman.

Joe,I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

I bought my husband two pair of these excellent gloves. He is 5'9", 173 pounds, medium build - he wears a medium and his glove size is an 8. The man who suggests measuring around the knuckle is also correct. The man who suggests a correlation with SHOE size is incorrect - maybe he made a typographical error when he said SHOE instead of GLOVE!

Plenty of padding in my opinion. It may change due to hand size however, there should be enough padding in every glove size. Hoqever, I ordered a medium and they sent me a large, I never bothered sending mine back in but just a heads up to check the size once they come in if you order them. I hate callouses as well so I got these gloves and I haven't had any sense so you should be all good! Good luck!

Yes it does! Love these, best gloves I've owned. Very durable with nice padding on the palm for lifting.

Are you sure your palms are 9.5 to 10 in WIDE? Maybe you mean length? Any way they stretch a good bit. I would recommend the gloves instead of the liners and prob xlarge

I think they do. Im a Medium in motorcycle gloves and weight lifting gloves and was also a Medium with these. If you think your in-between sizes, you definately want to get the smaller of the two sizes so that its easier to pickup small parts while wearing them.

I'm not familiar with the new ones sorry! But if you do Crossfit, I don't recomend any of these gloves, instead look up for Rogue Gymnastic gloves, those have worked great for me doing pull ups, T2B and weightlifting! Hope this will help you!

I think they use smaller gloves in Muay Thai. These gloves don't have a lot of wrist support. For boxing I'd get ones that have velcro straps going all the way around, not just half way.

i tried on the gloves and gripped a metal bar instead of doing pull-up. Found that it is pretty easy to turn my wrist in/out. The material on the palm area is cushioned but not rubbery. I think it is good for dumbell lifting and benchpresses, but not ideal for pull-ups.

The glove is right-handed because of the padding. However, I use it for both right and left hands. The padded part ends up on top when used with the left hand, but doesn't bother me or the activities with which I use it. I highly recommend these gloves!

Yes these are multi-purpose gloves there are perfect for weight lifting they are very comfortable and soft on your hands.

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

It depends on the use. They would be fine for sparring, but for hitting a heavy bag, no. If you are going to be using a heavy punching bag you want something that completely covers the hand. I used these for a punching bag and my knuckles got torn to shreds.
