How to Break In Your Cleto Reyes Boxing Gloves

If you’ve just purchased your first pair of Cleto Reyes gloves, congratulations! You’re investing in a high-quality piece of boxing gear that will last for years. However, like any leather product, your gloves may feel a bit stiff at first. Here’s how to break them in so they fit perfectly.

1. Use Them Frequently

The best way to break in your gloves is by using them. Start with lighter training sessions to allow the leather to soften and mould to your hands. Over time, the gloves will feel more comfortable and customised to your hand shape.

2. Use Hand Wraps

Hand wraps are essential not just for protection but also for helping your gloves break in. They provide extra padding that stretches the glove slightly, making them more comfortable over time. Always wrap your hands before using new gloves to prevent injury and help them break in properly.

3. Air Out Your Gloves

After training, it’s important to let your gloves air out. This prevents moisture buildup, which can lead to unpleasant odours and damage to the leather. Open the Velcro or laces and let the gloves dry naturally.

4. Store Your Gloves Properly

Proper storage is key to maintaining the shape and durability of your gloves. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or fade.

Final Thoughts

Breaking in your Cleto Reyes gloves takes a little time and care, but once they’re properly broken in, you’ll have a pair of gloves that fit perfectly and last for years.
