Training Gloves vs Match Gloves: What Goalkeepers Should Know
I used to train and play matches in the same gloves. They wore out fast—and my match grip suffered.
Why Training Gloves Take a Beating
Daily dives, turf friction, repeated drills—training exposes every weakness in latex. Durable gloves matter here.
Match Gloves Are About Feel
On match day, I want lighter gloves, better touch, and confidence on crosses. Softer latex makes a difference.
How I Rotate My Gloves
I now keep one pair for training and one for matches. Brands like WVVOU make this easy by offering similar fits across models.
