For anyone that's interested TK Maxx in town have got £46 keepers gloves in for £14. Can't tell you more than that, don't know anything about gloves. They're on the column by customer services.

aye its www.keeperskit.co.uk or also try www.prodirectsoccer.comWhen i order i have a method. pay attention beacue I'm going to go round the houses with this explanation. Depending on the manufacturers you will have to order different sizes, and usually you will have to order 1 size above your shoe size, sometimes not. My shoes size is 9, my Glove size is 10, although there are exceptions to these rules. My shoes size is 9, but my football boot size is 10. Now, on to gloves. Adidas - order 1/2 or 1 size up from shoe size, Nike - order 1 size up from shoe size, Uhlsport - order same size as shoe size. I would only ever recommend 4 manufacturers. Adidas, Nike, HO and Uhlsport. Adidas - good grip when damp, sturdy and flexible. Nike - good grip when damp, make hands feel huge, good thick padding. HO - supreme grip, esp. in dry conditions, v. popular in spain/italy, good snug feel. Uhlsport - supreme grip in wet and great grip in dry when kept damp. My gloves for last season were Adidas Fingertip ES4 and Nike Tiempo Priemer Tacility My gloves for this season are Uhlsport Chimera Molded and HO Kontrol My thoughts on other makes - Umbro seem to light but have according to my sister good grip (she has though since switched to the same gloves I used for part of last season Adidas Fingertip (not fingersave), SGP (Sells) & Sellsport both have good grip but wear out a little faster than the other manufacturers. Puma are okay for a cheap glove, but if you want to catch balls then don't buy cheap gloves! I would avoid Reusch, Stanno, Lotto as they are in my experience crap. Reebok I have never used and have no opinion on. I hope this helps a little. Remember they are only my opinions from personmal experience.
