Goalkeeper Gloves Size 5.5

How to know if goalkeeper gloves size 5.5 are suitable

When choosing goalkeeper gloves in size 5.5, it’s important to take a close look at the circumference of the hand. This size is intended for young keepers with a palm circumference of approximately 15 to 16 centimeters. By measuring around the knuckles of the four fingers (excluding the thumb), you can get a good sense of the correct size. Fit is also essential: the glove should be snug enough for good control, but not so tight that it constricts the fingers. The right fit leads to better performance and increased comfort during play.

Since every hand is different, the fit of a size 5.5 glove can vary by brand. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to the sizing from each manufacturer. Some brands have a looser or tighter fit. If you have narrower hands, gloves with a slimmer cut might feel more comfortable. When in doubt, we recommend checking the manufacturer's size chart. These often provide additional information about the glove’s width and length.

Models and brands available in size 5.5

There are various goalkeeper gloves available in size 5.5 from brands offering popular models for younger keepers. You can choose from brands like adidas, Stanno, Elite, and KEEPERsport. These brands pay close attention to fit and grip for smaller hands. They offer both basic models for beginners and higher-end versions for more frequent players.

In terms of price, gloves come in different categories. In the lower price range, you will find basic models with standard grip, which are mainly suitable for training or recreational use. More expensive models offer extras like higher-quality latex for better grip, finger protection systems, and breathable materials. Consider which model fits how often and at what level you play. Price and comfort are often linked to the amount of technology built into the glove.

Key features of goalkeeper gloves size 5.5

Grip is one of the most important factors in goalkeeper gloves. Size 5.5 models come with various types of latex, each offering different cushioning and stickiness. Soft latex generally provides better grip in dry conditions. More durable materials last longer when used on artificial turf or hard surfaces. Consider how and where you play to choose the best type of latex.

You can also choose between gloves with or without finger protection. Finger-save gloves have reinforcement inside the fingers, which helps prevent injuries and provides extra support when stopping powerful shots. For children or beginner keepers who are still learning and training frequently, this can be very useful. Other models are more flexible and allow for greater freedom of movement, which is ideal for players who prefer unrestricted motion when diving or catching the ball.

Practical tips for choosing goalkeeper gloves

For beginner players who train once or twice a week, gloves with basic grip and a comfortable inner lining are often sufficient. Players who train more frequently or play matches may benefit from gloves with enhanced grip and possibly finger protection. Also, pay attention to glove maintenance. Rinse them in lukewarm water after use. Let them dry at room temperature and avoid direct heat. This way, they will last much longer.

If the size turns out not to be right, it’s good to know that we have a return policy. Make sure the gloves are in their original state, without signs of use or dirt. That way, you can try a different pair without any additional cost. We’re here to help you find the perfect fit.
