Goalkeeper gloves live or die on two things: the cut and the latex. This page carries adidas and Puma keeper gloves for club, high school and college keepers, plus New Balance at the entry end. The adidas ladder runs Predator Training, Predator Match, Predator Pro and Copa Pro; Puma runs Future Match NC, Future Pro Hybrid and Future Ultimate NC. Coach's tip: buy two pairs, not one. Keep a cheap training pair for turf and hard ground — those surfaces shred match latex in a few weeks — and save the good pair for game day. Goal Kick Soccer has been an authorized adidas and Puma dealer since 2001.
Start with how often the keeper actually plays in goal. That decides the tier before anything else does.
A kid rotating into goal for a half doesn't need $130 latex. Start at adidas Predator Training ($19.99) or the New Balance Furon Dynamite Replica ($19.99, size 6 and 10 left). Both take a beating on turf and won't hurt when they get lost in a gear bag.
This is the tier that matters. adidas Predator Match Fingersave ($64.99) or PUMA Future Match NC ($49.99) give you real match latex without the pro price. Buy a second training pair alongside it — keepers who train in their match gloves replace them twice as often.
Go to the top palm. adidas Predator Pro Hybrid ($139.99), adidas Copa Pro Promo ($99.99, the deepest size run on this page) or PUMA Future Ultimate NC ($149.99). Soft match latex grips better and wears faster — that trade is the point, not a flaw.
Youth keepers usually land between a 4 and a 7. adidas Youth Predator Match Fingersave ($44.99) runs 4–7 and includes finger spines, which parents of younger keepers ask about most. PUMA Future Match NC covers 5–8 and bridges into small adult hands.
Artificial turf and gym floors are the fastest way to destroy a match palm. Keep Predator Training gloves in the bag for those sessions, and pull the match pair out only on grass. If the keeper only ever plays indoor, buy two training pairs instead of one match pair.
Most keepers replace gloves because the palm wore out, not because the glove failed. Latex is a consumable. A soft match palm on a keeper training four days a week is a six-to-eight week item, and that is normal — it is the same trade-off as a soft-compound tire. If you want them to last longer, rinse the palms in cool water after every session and let them air dry away from a radiator or a hot car. We wrote up the full routine in how to clean goalkeeper gloves, and the buying logic in more depth in how to pick the right goalkeeping gloves.
Gloves are one piece of the kit. The rest of the keeper's gear — jerseys, padded shorts and pants — sits in the Keeper Collection. If you actually wanted grip gloves for an outfield player in cold weather, those are field player gloves and they are a different product. You will also find shinguards, soccer cleats and training equipment a click away.
Goal Kick Soccer has been the trusted source for soccer gear since 2001. Gloves ship fast as small parcel from our Iowa warehouse, and orders over $85 ship free.
Measure across the palm at the widest point, just below the knuckles, in inches. Round up and add one inch — that number is your glove size. A 7-inch palm is roughly a size 8. Add the extra inch so there is a little latex past the fingertips, which is where the ball actually lands. Every glove on this page has its brand size chart linked on the product page, and adidas and Puma do not size identically, so check the chart for the pair you are buying rather than assuming your old size carries over.
The cut is how the palm is stitched to the backhand, and it changes how tight the glove feels. Negative cut (marked NC on Puma models) has the seams stitched inside, so it wraps close to the hand — most keepers who like a snug feel end up here. Roll cut (RC) rolls the latex around the fingers, which puts more latex on the ball and feels fuller. Hybrid mixes the two, usually a roll on the outer fingers and a negative seam inside. There is no better or worse; it is hand shape and preference. If you have never thought about it, negative cut is the safe default.
Fingersave is adidas's name for flexible spines built into the fingers that resist backward bending. They help most for younger keepers still learning to set their hands, and for anyone coming back from a jammed or broken finger. The trade-off is a slightly stiffer feel, and some keepers dislike it. If you are buying for a youth keeper and are not sure, the spines are worth having — the adidas Youth Predator Match Fingersave is the usual pick.
Youth keepers generally land in sizes 4 to 7. A rough starting point: size 4 for about ages 6–8, size 5 for 8–10, size 6 for 10–12, and size 7 for 12–14. Hands vary more than ages do, so measure rather than going by age alone. Do not buy two sizes up to "grow into" — a loose glove slides on the hand and the keeper loses the feel of the ball. On this page, sizes 4–7 are stocked in the youth adidas Predator Match Fingersave and the PUMA Future Match NC.
Any of them will work, but a soft match palm on artificial turf or a gym floor will wear out in weeks rather than months. The practical answer is to use a cheaper, harder-wearing pair for those surfaces and keep the match pair for grass. The adidas Predator Training glove at $19.99 exists for exactly this. If a keeper plays indoor or on turf almost exclusively, two training pairs a season will cost less and last longer than one top-tier pair.
Every adidas, Puma and New Balance glove on this page is bought through our authorized dealer accounts — Goal Kick Soccer has been an authorized retailer since 2001. Gloves ship as small parcel from our warehouse in Spencer, Iowa, usually within one business day, and orders over $85 ship free. If a size is showing on this page, it is on the shelf; this collection hides anything that is out of stock.
