At RoninWear, we offer one of the largest selections of boxing gloves in the world, with over 300 models from the top brands. Whether you're looking for cheap boxing gloves to get started or the highest professional quality, you'll find the perfect model here.
Although they're often grouped together, gloves for boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai are essentially the same. While there may be minor design differences between models, any boxing glove will work perfectly for any of these combat sports.
Most boxing gloves are made from synthetic leather (PU leather) or genuine leather (buffalo or cowhide). More affordable models are usually synthetic leather, while high-end gloves have traditionally gone with genuine leather for its durability and feel. However, some leading brands are now developing synthetic leather patents that outperform natural leather.
As for closure, the most common choice for everyday training is velcro closure, for its convenience and ease of use. For competition or very intensive boxing training, many prefer lace-up gloves, which offer an unbeatable fit, but require the help of someone else β your coach or a training partner, for example β to tie them.
Where are boxing gloves made? Their origin can influence their characteristics and type of specialization:
Price is usually an indicator of quality. To buy a high-quality boxing glove, you'll need to invest more, since factors like material type, padding, and country of manufacture directly affect the cost. Manufacturers that invest in genuine leather, research and design have higher production costs.
But don't worry β at RoninWear we only work with specialized boxing glove brands that meet strict quality and safety standards. Gloves from specialized brands will always last longer and offer superior protection compared to generic options from big-box stores that don't focus on these sports and aren't experts like we are.
Glove size is measured in ounces (oz), an Anglo-Saxon unit of weight. It's chosen based on the practitioner's body weight and intended use:
For sparring (training combat), you can use your everyday training gloves, but keep in mind that many fighters prefer a second pair with **extra padding** to maximize protection for their hands and their opponent's face. For example, you might use 10 or 12 oz for mitt work and bag work, and at least 14 or 16 oz gloves when sparring.
For bag sessions, there are bag gloves specifically designed for that purpose. Their construction differs from regular gloves: the thumb is usually exposed for a more natural grip, and the padding over the knuckles is lighter, since the bag absorbs part of the impact. Everlast bag gloves are a classic example of this product.
Always remember to use quality boxing wraps β they're essential for protecting your wrists and hands!
At RoninWear, we're confident you'll find the perfect boxing glove for you, whether you're just starting out or you're a professional boxer. And remember, we're always happy to help you with any questions you might have.
