I just receive these glove today . I take a earlier reviewer 's recommendation to get a size larger , so I get the xxl size . my hand be 8 '' from base to top of middle finger and the glove feel really nice on , they feel like they be size right . however , the reviewer that say the bottom of the glove between the finger dig into you hand be true for I , as well . between the index finger and middle finger , and between the middle finger and ring finger , the glove bite into the hand a little , but mainly just when I be spread my finger . during normal lifting when you be just close you hand\/making a fist , it be not a problem . so , +1 to get a size up from you normal size , and just be aware if you have really big paw , you 'll want to try these on in person in case they 'll dig into you hand -lrb- which be why I knock a star off -rrb- .
