Best goalkeeper gloves to buy right now
Soft, sticky latex palms grip best but wear fast on artificial pitches, so keep a cheaper pair for training and 3G. Young keepers should consider finger-protection spines, which stop fingers bending back.

Best for most people
1. Westwood Fox Goalkeeper Gloves
4+3mm Dumbo latex · Dual strap · Spines, sizes 5 to 10
A big UK seller with the two things that matter most: a thick, soft latex palm and finger spines in sizes 5 to 10. It comes in kids and adult sizes, so one glove covers a family of keepers. Soft latex wears fast on 3G, so keep a cheaper pair for artificial pitches.

Best for 3G pitches
2. uhlsport Soft Resist+
Classic · Soft Resist latex · Flex Frame
uhlsport built the Soft Resist latex for durability on artificial grass, which is where most gloves wear out. Flex Frame finger stabilisation adds protection without locking the fingers. A harder-wearing latex trades away some of the stickiness of a soft match palm.
-
Best for young keepers
3. Reusch Attrakt Infinity Finger Support Junior
Grip Infinity · DuraGuard, Thumbflex · Finger Support
A junior glove with Reusch's Finger Support system, the spine protection that stops young keepers' fingers bending back, plus DuraGuard and Thumbflex. Reusch flags it as a durability upgrade. It is junior-only, so adults should look at the Westwood Fox or uhlsport above.
-
Best budget
4. EFAH Sports Kids Goalkeeper Gloves
Kids and youth · Breathable mesh · Adjustable hook and loop
The best-selling glove on this list by a distance, and the cheapest. It suits children starting out or a spare training pair. The listing mentions no finger spines, so it protects less than the Reusch or Westwood Fox.
-
Best for training
5. adidas Predator Training Gloves
Positive · Rubber
A training glove from the adidas Predator range, with a rubber palm and a positive cut. It makes a sensible second pair for training and 3G. No finger protection is listed, and the palm is rubber rather than latex.
-
Best all-weather pick
6. Reusch Attrakt Solid Junior
Expanse Cut · Solid adhesive foam · All weather and surfaces
Reusch's Solid foam is made to last for recreational keepers on every surface, and the Expanse Cut gives a large catching area. The latex is made in Germany. There are no finger spines, so a young keeper prone to bent fingers is better off with the Attrakt Infinity above.
-
Premium pick
7. PUMA Future Z Grip 2 SGC Hybrid
Hybrid · Future Z Grip 2
The dearest glove here, with a hybrid cut from the PUMA Future range. The listing gives no palm, foam or finger protection detail at all, which is why it ranks last despite the price. Buy it only if you already know you like the Future Z fit.
Nothing matches those filters. Try fewer filters, or search for a brand like "MSI" or "Crucial".
How we rank
Ordered by how well each sells in its Amazon UK category, what the listing confirms (fit, materials, sizes, features), and price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
