My son likes the gloves and we like the brand but stitching has already started coming out of the Velcro wrist wrap after only two months.  I'll have to think long and hard about buying them again.

We got these for the Fall 2012 season.  First, we found they run a little small.  My 10 year daughter of average size needed a size 8.  Now it is November, 2012 and the wrist strap on one of the glove has just about torn off and doesn't look repairable.  She goalied in about 12-15 games and also wore them at practices (1-2 times per week).  I was hoping to get a full year out of these gloves.  The gloves are nice, fit well and are comfortable to her.  We did not have an issue with odor.  I am just disappointed that they are breaking so soon.  They won't make it through indoor season.

I've had them for about a year, infrequent use and they are starting to get very thread base on the fingers.  Not a terrible glove, the fit is good, but the quality isn't great.

Grandson very happy with these but already showing signs of wear on fingertips. Find all gloves no matter what cost do not hold up as well as I feel they should for money spent. Know its a tough sport but the product is for a specific use so it seems better technology would interfere with profit lines why research that avenue

These shoes are cute and comfortable for my child, but I hoped they would be more durable. The stitching around the toe of one shoe is beginning to come undone, and I don't think there is a way that I can fix/mend it. He has worn them for less than a month, so I am quite disappointed in the amount of wear he will get out of these shoes. I bought them during the summer for him to wear when school started back, so we are already past the 30 day Amazon return period.

I bought these gloves for my daughter who is goalkeeping for her GU14 All-Star team.  The gloves fit well and the finger supports were nice, but after only 3 practices the stitching on the seams came undone to the point that she couldn't use them.  I have since returned them and will try a different pair.

***** Came back to edit review after wearing for a few months. We have taken good care of his boots, he love them. However the stitching is coming out on all sides. We are not sure if it is just decoration or if the boot will start falling apart? We are sad and so is our son who know saves them for special occasions.****

Our son loves these boots. they fit great and he is complimented on them ever time he wears them.

Loved the feel of these gloves initially and used them twice weekly for the last year, but 4 separate seams on one hand and 1 seam on the other hand did not last.  The threading used is probably not very good because that is what has given out.  I have not had this problem with Harbinger gloves--those lasted for years--and will probably go back to that brand.

These gloves are cute and a good fit, but I am not sure how long they will last.  My last pair (different brand) was more heavy duty and lasted through eight years of regular use at least three times a week.  They were not washable, however, and these ones are supposed to be.  I have not washed them yet.

Already falling apart. The gloves were great at first, but they are already falling apart. Good gloves for the price, but not great.

My son is 11 and LOVED these gloves when they came in.  He loved the way they fit and the strength in the fingers to protect him.  But only after a couple of uses the velcro ripped off and a hole formed in the other glove near the base of the index finger.  Also, when they got wet they were very heavy and didn't have much stick in the palms...it seemed like it absorbed a lot of water there rather than repelling it.  We just returned and are trading up for the 99's - I hope these work better.

Purchased these gloves based on the feedback on Amazon and after 4 workouts the stitching  on one of the thumbs is already coming apart.  Poor quality or a defect?

EDIT 11/10/14- I loved the gloves when I first got them but I'm sorely disappointed with the quality. After a few months of having them they developed holes and the stitching is coming apart. I don't dance everyday, nor do I use these every time I dance. They're useful for learning certain tricks and they work well when you first buy them, but I honestly can't recommend them as a good buy when they fall apart so quickly.

Original: I like these a lot. I have sweaty hands and in an apartment with no AC, I was having major problems with grip. As much as I love i-tac, it just wasn't cutting it. I did have similar issues as other reviewers, tightness/discomfort in the webbing of my fingers as well as slight slippage of my hand inside the glove.
As far as sizing, I was worried because I have VERY large hands for a girl but I got the large size and they fit well.
Overall very happy with the purchase.

Very cute boots and we get tons of compliments on them.  My son seems to like them and are comfortable.  Only complaint is the fabric stitching has become frayed around the attachment to the side zipper.  Happened only after 3-4 weeks of moderate use.

These fit better than most boots and the double Velcro straps work great. But, the stitching is coming apart after only two times being worn. To be fair, my puppy is a very energetic 6 months old, which may put too much stress on the stitching. It did keep her feet warmer and she didn't pick up her feet from the cold anymore. The quality just isn't there to recommend them..

I have purchased this brand of glove several times over many years.  I loved them, but this time the quality construction has been compromised.  They just are not as sturdy as they were in the past.  The stitching was sloppy, careless, and sometimes pulling apart.  I sent back the first pair for this reason, the second pair looked better but after a few uses, the thumb stitching was pulling apart.  I won't be purchasing them in the future.

Nice comfortable gloves. Easy on and off, but as others said stitching is big problem. One glove is falling apart immediately . If not for that I would give them 5 stars and order more.
