I am a petite female, 4'10" with smallish hands, but average finger length? would 12 oz be okay? Other vendors on Amazon sell ladies gloves, however they take weeks to deliver.

Hi. Yes, I think you'll be good. I imagine they'll be a little big but that is the name of the game unless you get custom fitted gloves.

Most of the ladies in my kickbox class wear 8 or 10oz gloves. Kind of depends on whether you are wearing wraps or some type of gel wrap gloves under your boxing gloves as those will fill up some space in the gloves as well. Best thing would be to go to a sporting goods or boxing equipment store to try on some gloves and see how they fit. Then order from Amazon if it will save you $$.

There is no real difference between Women and Men gloves, just size (weight) and color. These gloves should work well for you, but you may want to pick a lighter weight. They have a strong chemical odor which was too much for me.

I bought 14 oz. based on my boxing instructor's recommendation so I would ask your instructor.

My hand is about two inches shorter than yours and I bought a medium glove. Mine fits well, but you would want something in a large or an extra large I would assume.

The circumference of my palm is 8" and I can wear a small or medium. Unless you have very long fingers you will probably be fine with small. They are great gloves!!

The 12 oz. would be the way to go. Not only because of having larger hands, but also as a beginner, I feel it will protect your knuckles better than lesser oz. gloves. Hope this helps.

I am a woman and my hand is 6.5" long from the wrist to the end of my middle (longest) finger. I purchased the "Neet Suede Shooting Glove, SM" and it was too small for me - the glove is too short and the wrist wrap ends up at the base of my thumb rather than at my wrist. The finger slots were snug but not too tight. The length is perfect for my 8-year-old daughter (petite with long fingers). I hope that helps.

I have small hands and the gloves fit me well they were still bigger than my hands but weren't falling off and I didn't have too much extra material at ends of the fingers. I have a hard time finding gloves that fit me well enough to be of any use and these worked. Definitely made for woman's hands which is good considering that's what they were aiming for :-)

I have smallish hands, i fit snugly into a medium, but can fit amazingly in a small. I understand where you are coming from =] The gloves should fit just fine because they're supposed to be oversize to ensure that they protect you. I would definitely pick up the medium.

I have small hands, but I intentionally ordered medium size because I like them a bit loose. So if you have small hands and want them to fit perfectly, you might want to order small size. I hope it helps!

I am also female with normal hand size of wrist to middle finger length of 7 inches..the small would be too small for this hand size.If you are under the 7 inch size go with the small.

I have the regular size. Middle finger length is about 2 3/4 inches. I have small hands and the regular size gloves fit comfortably. I usually have trouble with the fingers of gloves being too long. These are not. However, the gloves are very stretchy, probably up to medium sized hands would do fine.

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 am 6 feet tall, but have slightly smaller than average hands - they fit snug. I am in a Large which are just right. Average to large hands - maybe go extra large.

Hi there, amazon asked me to comment, because I recently purchased a set of these...I am a woman with medium size hands and they fit perfectly, except one which I adjusted by bending open slightly, it appears they can be sized slightly...hope this helps...christy

I have small hands. I wear size 6 ring on my ring finger. And these gloves fit perfectly. Not too snug and not loose.

I am a small woman (4'10" and 109 lbs.). Women's small is too small and a woman's medium is too large so I wear a men's small. Fits like a glove. Usually when I order gloves, I go by the palm circumference that the manufacturer supplies and my past experience.

I am a female and 5'10 with big hands. I ordered the medium, because my trainer's gloves were the exact same ones and they fit me perfectly..even with my wraps on. My medium fit a bit snug, but it's because they aren't worn in yet. I imagine the XL would work for you. I certainly wouldn't recommend the L for you, but hopefully the XL should be big enough.

They say they're for women, but you'd have to have pretty big hands. My petite hands swim in them, so much so that I gave them up. I see that other women have a different experience. I wonder if the sizing is inconsistent?
