Hi, I was wondering if they have enought support and padding in the palm to avoid callous? May be someone who uses them can answer? Thanks!

I use them three to five times per week at the gym using moderate to heavy weight, and I have zero callouses. the finger hole openings are wide which is nice so they have not ripped near the fingers like other gloves I have owned.

Yes. Functionally these gloves work great. Just be warned as the leather die bleeds onto your hands if you sweat a lot.

I have read Texcasters response and it tells you all you really need to know, except for the velcro closure patch which is large and holds very well.These gloves are very tight fitting and stiff,great for protection, but take time to limber up for movement. Use baby powder on them for your first 5 or 6 times to reduce the struggle of getting them on/off...a good protective glove.

Hi thereYes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights.Cheers, Nancy

i am adult male, 200 lbs, average+ , thin hands (not meaty). they fit me fine, small hands could use them . keep in mine that connected to the glove is hand wraps---- is you look carefully you can see they wrap around hand and up to wrist. i love the fast you have glove and wrap all in one. I love them and the price is great!!!!!!!!

No offense, but I look at callouses as part of being a man. That being said, theses grips are smooth and probably wouldn't rough your hands up. Great for grip training. A must have in my opinion.

I think they use smaller gloves in Muay Thai. These gloves don't have a lot of wrist support. For boxing I'd get ones that have velcro straps going all the way around, not just half way.

You probably wouldn't like these any better. My hands are large/xl woman's, and I still have plenty of room. Not so much that it is dangerous, but I can see where someone with very small hands would lose dexterity.

I have not, per se, but I have been using them for shooting and the are great! Good feel and I've had the glove caught in the action a couple times w/o a mark on the material. Don't know if this helps...

Actually the padding in the palm is little bit thicker than other pairs that I have used.

Yes, I wear these three times a week for weight training and they prevent the calluses I used to get without gloves. I have another pair that have thicker padding, but I have been choosing to wear these. They're lightweight and flexible. Cute, too. :)

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.

Thank You All for your wonderful response's! A comment to R. Cheatham..yes I did measure around the palm not including the thumb. I should have been more clear when writing my question - OOOPS! I haven't ever purchased gardening or any other glove online before - in store's only and don't have any of my gardening gloves left to check on a size...forget memory...LOL. I would really like to try these gloves they sound like they would be a dream to use. Thank You All Again

They will provide moderate protection, but they are not thick. I think you become more aware of your hands because of the glove, which may help.

They're not for heavy lifting, in my opinion. I like to have my thumbs covered or I get blisters. The grip is great, but not enough coverage for me. Also, make sure to get the correct size or you'll be sliding around.

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones

I find them "true to size". Just to be certain, you could find them at a garden shop and try for yourself. For myself I buy medium. For comparison, my hand is approx. 7" from wrist to fingertips and 4" wide.

They should fit just right. My hands are kind of large and they fit me a bit snug, but tolerable. Its a good investment since they are not that expensive.
