These are great training gloves for beginers i seen the reveiws on them and had to comment . You should allways order med gloves unless you have littletiny hands and i mean little , also with all combat sports gloves you should allways wear handwraps under them not only to they help make youre gloves fit snug they protect youre knuckes and wrists thats why we wear them, and they will be stiff at first you have to break them in kinda like a new pair of shoes if you are looking for a more padded softer glove i wouldent suggest you buy MMA gloves i would buy kickboxing,boxing, or sparring gloves as they are a tad bit bigger ) http://vintageluxcol.com/559725
