CLETO REYES Training Gloves with Leather Strap & Attached Thumb and Hook & Loop Closure

Excellent quality and comfortable and attention getting gloves !!! If you are committed to martial arts or boxing long term, get them.

I love these gloves! At first they may seem to fit a little too tight but once you break them in they will fit like a glove. (No pun intended) not only do they look good but they are comfortable, padding on them gives a nice pop when hitting the bag. May seem a little pricy compared to other brands but you definitely get what you pay for with cleto reyes! Value for money is worth it.

Ive been boxing(casually) for over a decade, never fought in the amateurs because i run a business and dont have the time to dedicate to it. But i do fight once a year in cheesy 'toughman' style boxing matches. Ive owned various brands of boxing gloves over the years from Title, Everlast, offbrand, etc. These are the tightest and most compact 16oz boxing gloves ive ever owned. They weren't kidding when they said these were 'puncher' gloves. Its a struggle to get my hands into them and im not a big guy(5'7 142 pounds). These are so compact that they make me feel like a pro fighter. They feel and look like 14 oz gloves, its crazy, and it feels crazy good on my ego because im able to punch harder and faster with these than any other 16 oz gloves ive ever owned. Its like ive been driving a truck all my life and suddenly switched to a super car like a Ferrari. Slick gloves, love'em, hope they hold up over the years like all the rumors says.Cons- The thumb on these gloves is very short, my thumb usually smashed on the end and it does get uncomfortable. Although i do have unnaturally large and lanky hands/fingers for being 5 foot 7 inches. I suppose Mexicans have stubby fingers or something. Also the thumb connector that keeps the thumb in place is kinda loose and your thumb will wiggle around more than other gloves. I even missed a punch on the heavybag and caught the thumb and that really hurt. I prefer my thumb sown on seamlessly onto the entire glove and not just a little half an inch leather piece holding it in place. Thats the only real 'con' i have for this glove, the thumb could be a whole lot better.

Excellent gloves!

I purchased these gloves for my husband 2 years ago, and just purchased them again this Christmas for him. My husband and I box and do kickboxing every day. He sweats very heavily, and is a hard hitter. He goes through cheaper gloves the way other people go through packs of toilet paper. If you buy him a $50 pair of gloves, you're going to be buying him new ones in 2 months. I got really tired of that, and of trying different brands to see if any could hold up for more than 5 months without disintegrating. So, I bought him these exact gloves, and here I am, only replacing them TWO YEARS later! These gloves are absolutely worth the price tag, but they're especially worth it if you are a heavy hitter, or a heavy sweater. The velcro is easy on and off, and the extra padding version is nice if you hit really hard. They don't need breaking in, either, which is really nice if you have to jump right into training.These are classy looking gloves, and they'll impress anybody who knows what is what. In my opinion, the only gloves that are better than Cleto's, are Winnings, and they're even more expensive, and ONLY are lace-up.If you buy these gloves, you won't regret it.

So after deciding that boxing had become my life blood I looked for a good quality pair for about 6 months. I didn't have a lot of money of money to buy multiple pairs and had to find a pair that would serve as a all purpose one. These are the best gloves I've ever used. They feel very unconterable at first, but after a month of use you break them in and they feel great. It has good thumb protection, great wrist protection, the stitching is top of the line, the only thing is the brand logo on the glove is starting to peel off since it was just painted on but that's fine. It is a very small glove, so it will not fit everyone's hand. I have small hands but long fingers and it fits pretty good, if you have large hands you probably need to keep looking. These gloves are great for sparing, mitt work, double end, but you need to be careful on the Heavy bag and watch your form cause since it has a flat (Mexican style) padding on the front of the glove there is not a lot of padding. Do not use the Heavy bag for too long and you must wrap your hands, I would wrap more on your knuckles than your wrist. But other than that I have no issues with them. There is no side to side movment in the glove and they are light so it feels very good and controlled. Over all it is worth it's weight in gold. My only advice would be to try them on before you buy them to make sure it fits your hand!

Trying to decide on a pair of gloves can be stressful as it is so I hope this review helps someone out there decide or narrow down their options!Right off the bat, the leather smell hits you when opening the package and the style of the glove is very attractive.Trying on the glove, they are very snug for 14oz (possibly more snug than my other 12oz gloves) and I will mention I have a small-moderate hands so no complaints here, definitely something to keep in mind when picking out the size.As mentioned, a tight fit but very secure nonetheless. Sufficient wrist support and compact padding which means great feedback when landing punches.These will be my go-to training gloves for padwork, bag work, and possibly occasional sparring but these are known as puncher's gloves and I definitely understand what they mean by that.Get a separate pair of gloves strictly used for sparring in order to protect your fellow boxing partners.I would rate these 9/10 and with the free 2 day shipping from Amazon, $200 is worth the investment!

Amazing leather smell. Great quality. Still have to break them in. What really bothers me is that they are said to be 16oz gloves but in reality they are 14oz. This is not right
