Cleto Reyes Lace Boxing Training Gloves

The short version is, these are excellent gloves. Experienced boxers will probably love them. They're worth every penny and more. However, the key to owning and using these gloves is patience. They're very well made and use some heavy duty leather, so when new they're very stiff and hard. At first they were very uncomfortable to wear with my hands wrapped, and it felt like I had pissed off boa constrictors on my hands. For at least a couple days I didn't throw any power shots with them. After about 60 3 minute rounds on heavy bag, and 10-12 total hours sitting on them in my office chair (palms down and thumbs facing out), these are now getting to be very comfortable. They're stunning, and they make you look and feel like a million bucks when you wear them. I picked electric blue, and the picture on Amazon and the Cleto Reyes web page actually capture the color really well, whereas my picture makes them look a bit darker. You'll get compliments on them from people who know boxing and from people who don't - they radiate quality and passion, and everyone can see it. On the question of hand and wrist protection - I'm a power punching light heavyweight with 10 years boxing experience and a history of minor hand injuries and wrist sprains, and I don't think these are lacking protection. With any glove, you absolutely must wrap your hands, and I'm getting the impression many people don't. The only time I experience pain with these is when I hit one of those old rock hard heavy bags with power shots, which happens with any glove. But of course, you can always use a knuckle guard from Winning, Boxraw, Skull Tec, etc. or a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser under your wraps for extra knuckle protection, and add tape to your wrists for extra stability. You'll just have to be patient while the glove forms around the added bulk, because it might be uncomfortably tight for a bit at first. In closing, these are probably torture if you're a beginner. There are lots of great gloves around the $100 mark that break in much faster and will give you a better first glove experience. But for people who've been at it for a bit and know what they're doing, and have the patience to break gloves in, these are among the best out there.

I would give this a 5/5 only small aesthetic issue at the bottom of the gloves, bunches up a bit that's all. The feel of this gloves is superb, super snug. I can already tell this is the Best gloves I had so far, 2nd to everlast powerlock. But the material is way superior Good wrist protection with the triple cuff, gloves is made in a way to keep you hand in place, to punch knuckle first. I understand why they say its a a punchers glove when you put them on. Also the leather smell is dank, good quality leather.. Stitching is good, the inside of the glove is good. I got this glove under "Used like new" for a cheaper price and I must say I'm very impressed and grateful. This gloves if any one is wondering. Is definitely Authentic no question. Got it from MMA Fanatics. Thanks Cleto Reyes and MMA Fanatics.

Wonderful boxing boot that is worth the money. Only issue I may have is that I noticed the soles may only be glued on instead of sewn. I do t know if this will be an issue because the product is legit and great quality. The zipper on the side makes getting them on and off easy. Lining seems to be quality padding and cotton/poly material that is comfortable on the leg since these go up to mid calf and is also absorbent. I am very happy I spent the $40 more than the Adidas shoes I usually buy and wear out in about 6-8 months of training.

Gr8 quality. Having my third pair. 2nd time The first was the black 10oz safetec. Which I returned Didn't like the feeling of my knuckles being so bare landing on the bag. Thanks for Amazon getting my refund back. Butt this blue is epic. I weighed if since I have another 12oz but hook and loop. Be careful when you buy a hook and loop since its not true to weight I've been hearing. So i bought a laced 12oz. It's true to its weight. I'm not a beginner boxer. So I can tell right away if a glove is light or heavy by just looking at them. You can tell the difference of quality vs the everlast. I love everlast for the price but the distance of usage is not that gr8. Update November 9 2017 I finally used it. Keep in mind Clerk Reyes does take time to break in. But having to use it the first day, almost half of the label on the right back hand is almost gone. Big disappointment. Wished I put vasaline earlier to keep it stuck. But will the product overall is great.

Gloves are amazing. Love them already. I got these specifically for sparring and although the padding is not as thick as other sparring gloves they offer great protection and are very soft. I wouldn't recommend them on a heavy bag because you will feel it the next day. Ive had them for a few years now and only used them for sparring and very few times light bag work/pads and have no issues or signs of falling apart. I like the classic style these gloves give me and did I mention they smell great!

My eleven year old grandson said the gloves fit great. I purchased The Cleto Reyes Lace Boxing Training Gloves, because of reviews. Glove sizing is not easy to determine 10 oz glove are 10 oz. but the difference brands may not fit all size hands. I read that Cleto Reyes gloves are smaller that most other gloves.

Cleto Reyes is one of the most famous, popular and extremely loved. However, you should think about some things before you buy these gloves. Pros 1)Super durable. They hardly wear off. 2)Good weight balance. The weight point is rather on the front side of gloves, which help you to throw strong shots easily. 3)Good wrist support when they are properly worn with ties. The padding on wrists are very thick and trustable. Cons 1)Printing issue. Cleto Reyes is famous for losing its logo on gloves. After one week of your training, you can see the printings on gloves are falling apart. 2)Hands protection. Reyes gloves are very tough which is the reason why they put their name on the most K.O. punch-making gloves' hall of fame. But this also goes to your hands. If you train on the heavy bag often with your power shots, you can really feel the impact. I'm not gonna say this makes Reyes bad training gloves, but after I spent some amount of time with my Winning gloves, I rarely bring them to the gym. 3)Gloves with lace. Buy laced gloves only if you have someone who will tie your gloves every second. If not the case, go with velcro.

Smelled good, feels good punching bags, would probably get higher oz for sparring, they are known as puncher gloves
