The surface (or ground) is important when buying football boots or goalkeeper gloves. We always advice to choose the surface you are going to use the product on. This way you can perform optimally and prevent injuries or rapid wear.

The 'cut' determines the fit and how tight the goalkeeper glove fits around the fingers.
Classic Cut: traditional flat hand with stitching visible on the outside.
Fingersurround Cut: the material is wrapped around the fingers with stitching on the inside, for the largest adhesive surface and most grip on the ball.
Hybrid Cut: little finger and index finger stitched according to Rollfinger method and middle two are Negative- or Classic Cut.
Negative Cut: stitching stitched inwards for a close fit and more grip on the ball.
Rollfinger Cut: the material is wrapped around the fingers with stitching on the outside, which gives a much better grip than a flat finger.
Finger protection or 'fingersave' technology ensures that your fingers do not fold when catching or pushing away a ball. Goalkeeper gloves with fingersave are often made of high-quality materials, which means they last longer than standard goalkeeper gloves and offer better protection against wear.
Not every goalkeeper is equally likely to suffer from double-flap fingers and finger protection can also limit the freedom of movement of the hands. This is therefore very personal. In addition to gloves with fixed fingersave, there are also gloves with removable fingersave. You can add the fingersave elements per finger and therefore as desired.
