Soccer's sports equipment market, itself in Taiwan's customer base is already very small, not to mention the goalkeeper gloves this sub-project; because to put it bluntly, there is no market to speak of. Then the goalkeepers in Taiwan, how to choose their own goalkeeper gloves? As a goalkeeper, I started to buy their own gloves, is the use of the old gloves of the senior, and then I can say that they are randomly selecting and buying, until later slowly began to do homework, only to find that in fact, into account a very large number of factors; and therefore found that the Chinese language gloves related to the introduction of the article is particularly small, so especially write this article, I hope to give the future purchase of gloves to the goalkeepers to help a little bit.

1. Purchase Pipeline
In spite of this, Taiwan part of the Adidas, Puma or other brands of physical stores, in fact, there are still selling the lowest-order entry-level models of gloves, of course, the sales volume is not high in the case of the number of various sizes into the number of course is very small, even if the sale is completed of course will not be replenished. Therefore, I personally recommend that goalkeepers in Taiwan, if you want to buy gloves, naturally is the most convenient online purchase. If it is a big brand like Adidas, Nike, Uhlsport, Sells, Reusch, you can go to a large European website like Pro Direct Soccer to buy; if it is a small brand like The One, Westcoast, KA (Kaliaaer), it is recommended to go directly to the brand's official website to buy.
2. Size selection
This should be the purchase of goalkeeper gloves will encounter the first difficult hurdle, is to pick the size, if you search Goalkeeper Gloves Size Guide, most of the sites will teach you the correct measurement of the glove size, a little bit above the thumb, the tiger's mouth near the place, with the amount of rulers around your hand in a circle, the following chart, with the number of the number and then compared to the size of the table to Purchase.

3. cut way
The most different thing about the process of making gloves from other products would be the various ways of cutting them. Meaning roughly refers to how the gloves are cut and sewn when they are made, which will affect how we feel when we wear them and pounce on them. Below is a brief description of some of the main cutting styles:
(1) Flat Palm: The most traditional way of cutting and still very popular today. You'll notice that stitch by stitch the fabric is sewn inside out and inside in, giving it a loose feel on the bias. This cut is made with a single piece of fabric on the back of the glove and is sewn between the palm and fingers.
(2) Roll Finger : also a fairly traditional cut. As the name suggests, the back of the palm is directly connected to the center of the palm, without sewing, so that the latex is bent directly over the fingers, providing greater protection for the fingers. However, compared to the Negative Cut mentioned above, this method is relatively looser. While the comfort level is better, some goalkeepers feel that it is not tight enough.Roll Finger This cutting method, due to the more protection of the goalkeeper's fingers, is usually also recommended to many novice goalkeepers.
