Is there an actual difference between these and a men's pair of gloves if both are 12oz besides the color?

I'm not exactly sure, but I think men's gloves would be bigger. I recommend fitting them in store first and comparing, then buying a pair on amazon.

These aren't very well padded. I'm not sure about the men's, but if they are more padded, I would go with those. Really these gloves weren't very good.

I only have small gloves, so cannot answer your question. I really like mine and I have tried several other brands. These are the best.

I have small hands and these fit perfect. What I learned when I started boxing is that the gloves are all about the same size but they are different weights. I have this pair and a 14oz pair. Both fit the same but the extra padding in the heavier pair slows me down and I don't care for it. As long as you properly wrap your hands before putting the gloves on you should be good with these. I love mine!

The gloves I received are for light heavybag training or mitt work. They're no more than 10oz. Also they are MMA style which has the exposed thumb. They are a large. Good gloves for a warm up mitt work session. Not really worth risking a fractured/broken thumb on heavybag though. Hope this helps!

I think they are XL Ladies. Good luck trying to find XL Men's on this glove type. I've not had much luck finding any. There not too bad though, you should order a pair to size them to your hands, would be my suggestion. They're very good cotton gloves. You should never wash these gloves. For what they cost, you should use 7 to 10 times and disgard. To keep them as clean as possible you should always wash your hands very well prior to appling any lotion or hand cream, before placing your hands in the gloves.

The best way I know how to tell you what size to get is whatever you generally would say you wear in men's gloves and go 1 size smaller. The last pair I got, that thinking went well for me. I love the gloves, but per the norm of gloves I buy (which is a lot) they run almost 1 size bigger. I do work outside all day and highly recommend these gloves.

Giro lists them as mens' gloves on their homepage. Anyway, Giro has very accurate sizing guides with inch/centimeter specifications for both genders. So, you should be able to figure out whether any of the mens' sizes will fit your hands (I hope the links are not deleted by Amazon...): http://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/men_glove_fitguide.pdfhttp://www.giro.com/giro/fitguide/gloves/women_glove_fitguide.pdfTheir guides were very accurate in my experience.Btw: I really like these gloves.

I kept a pair of the originals to use at our lake camper and I cannot tell that much difference in the thicknes between the two sets. The new pair works just as well, but as has always be the case with these gloves, they run small. Hope this was helpful.

I have regular size hands for a female and I have the 14 oz gloves and they fit great. If you have small hands, I would imagine the 16 oz being too big. Are 14oz gloves an option for you?

They are probably thinner than what you are looking for. They aren't as thick as some cotton gloves that would keep your hands warm that I had when I was younger.

I would say they run fairly consistent with regular gloves. I got the M and I have an in-between size of S & M. I wouldn't get anything smaller.

I (female) wear size L gloves and these fit fine. Not tight at all. But for a guy...don't know. I can say that there is a lot of extra room at the finger tips, so they may accommodate taller fingers.

I would say yes... do your gloves look the same as the ones pictured on Amazon? I think they probably are the same gloves. I bought them as a gift for a friend who does a lot of gardening and small projects and she never used gloves... she absolutely loved these.

I believe they are. The purple ones I recently purchased replaced a pink pair. Nothing was wrong with the gloves just lost one. The hand is textured with a smooth wrist cuff. The gloves are lined. I did find the medium hand to be large fitting therefore next time (in 20 years) I will order a small.

Hi Maxine, The gloves did not specify man or woman. My gloves are medium and fit great. I have what I would consider a normal size woman's hand. They fit fairly snug but have stretch in them. I really like the glove. good luck
