I have these gloves, and I love them. I use them for mitts and sparring. I have very big hands (average in length, but very thick), and I sometimes have problems with gloves fitting once I get my hands wrapped. With these I have no problem with that. They have enough play in the fingers to where I can easily establish and maintain clinch, and catch/perry punches. I've used them for several years, often training twice a day several days a week, and they've held up great. The padding on the knuckles has held up perfectly, and the velcro is still really secure/sticky. $50 is a great price for these!
