Children’s Hands Are Not Small Adult Hands
These are kids boxing gloves at $24.99, in shock-absorbing breathable PU leather with a full-finger design, available in orange, red, black and blue for boxing, Muay Thai and karate. The padding matters more for children than adults for a straightforward reason: the growth plates in a child’s hand and wrist are still open, and the bones are not yet fully hardened. A glove designed for children pads the knuckles and supports the wrist accordingly, rather than simply scaling down an adult design.
Key Benefits
- Shock-absorbing padding. Protects developing hand and wrist bones from repeated impact.
- Full finger design. Wraps and supports the whole hand.
- Breathable PU leather. Durable and considerably easier to clean than fabric.
- Boxing, Muay Thai and karate. One glove across the striking arts kids actually train.
- Four colors. Orange, red, black and blue.
How to Use
- Make sure the wrist strap is fastened firmly – wrist support is the point of a boxing glove as much as knuckle padding.
- Wear hand wraps underneath if your coach recommends them; they support the small bones of the hand and absorb sweat.
- Air the gloves out after every session rather than sealing them in a bag. Damp gloves smell and degrade.
- Supervise young children when training, and use gloves appropriate to their size and the intensity of the work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do children need specific boxing gloves?
Because the growth plates in a child’s hands and wrists are still open and the bones are not fully hardened. Kids gloves pad and support accordingly rather than just scaling down an adult glove.
Should my child wear hand wraps underneath?
Most coaches recommend it. Wraps support the small bones of the hand, add a layer of protection at the knuckles, and absorb sweat that would otherwise soak into the glove lining.
Are these suitable for karate as well as boxing?
Yes – the padding and full-finger design suit boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing and karate training alike.
How do I stop them smelling?
Air them out after every session with the gloves opened up. The smell comes from sweat trapped in a sealed bag – it is preventable, and very hard to reverse once established.
How do I know they fit?
The hand should sit snugly with the wrist strap fastened firmly. A glove that slides on the hand does not protect the knuckles, and a loose wrist is where injuries happen.
