Review on Vislivin Women'S Genuine Leather Gloves With Full Hand Touch Screen Function, Warm Winter Texting And Driving Gloves by Bobby Bond

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice leather, but Sz. 8 fingers Too Short

I ordered the size 8 gloves. I think pictures speak volumes, so I added several, with dimensions, and put them side by side with another well-known Best Buy brand to compare dimensions.I always do a lot of research before purchasing a pair of leather gloves. I have slender/large hands with long fingers. I've resorted to making my own gloves in the past because nobody seems to offer a size 8 or 8.5 with long enough fingers. Several reviews indicated that these gloves may be different in that regard, however, unfortunately, this was no the case. These gloves are: short, and the fingers are way too short. Disappoint.The Good: they came fast. The leather is shiny, smooth, good condition/finish. They look great. The fuzzy lining is soft. No idea how warm they would be, as I'm not sure if I'll keep them(might give them to someone they'll actually fit). The leather seems genuine.The Bad: my two criticisms, too short, and too short. Fingers - too short. Overall length - too short. Both could have been alleiviated if this brand, or any brand, bothered to show the dimensions of the finger lengths, and overall size somewhere, anywhere, in the product listing. Nobody does this; why?These gloves unfortunately fail like so many others in that the gloves pictured on the model are either, not the same gloves as the ones they sell (on the models they always have long narrow fingers, and go past the wrist), some kind of photoediting is used, or, the only other thing I can guess at is; the glove manufacturer must use the same pattern length, and finger length for each glove size, and they only change the width. This would explain why smaller size 6 or 7 gloves can appear to have long fingers in some people's photos, while size 8 gloves end up so often being too short. I suppose their could be people with size 8 hands and stubby fingers, but I'd have to lose a whole segment off each finger to get these gloves to fit right. So, alas, they're either going back, or getting gifted.Regarding the beige comparison gloves in the pictures. The fingers on those beige gloves are notably longer(except the thumb), still not long enough, but actually wearable(thus why I kept them). Why can't anyone make ALL the fingers long enough? (and men's gloves are too boxy, too short overall, and nobody makes them without cartoonie lines on the back of the palm). #Glovestruggle. lol
