Hi lads
Just wondering if there's anyway to make gloves fit smaller without using inners? as I've bought some gloves and are a tad big, and youths is too small.
Any help appreciated
Thanks!
Tony

Wonder if they would shrink if you put them in the dryer? ?

I've thought about that Ryan but I'm not sure whether to as the heat could ruin them maybe?
-
The only thing the heat would ruin would be any glue, but I don't think gloves have anything glued they're all stitched. Its only like putting trainers in I suppose.

Ahh right! Might give it a try then..... Thanks mate!

put them in a pillow case and leave in airing cupboard for a week or so.
This is what a was told once to shrink gloves & pads. No idea if it will work :)

Used to put my Adidas F50+ (black and white ones) in the wash.
They lasted years!

I have done it once by dipping quickly in boiling water and the wearing it when it became cool enough to put hands through so as to mould it . I left it to dry on the radiator and used leather conditioner to keep them supple . It worked for me as I was only looking to shrink them just a little bit . There are plenty of articles about shrinking leather gloves on the web .
