Would these gloves leave you're hand sore from hitting a heavy bag?

Not really, I have been using these globes for more than 3 months now and I love em, the grip is great, gives me good mobility and mine are 16OZ. If you are not sure...I'll recommend you that If a friend of yours have ones, use em before shop.

The greatest remedy for hand soreness is prevention through proper hand wrapping. I personally use ringside Mexican style wraps for added protection and feel they provide the added protection I need while using the Reyes's. You do feel the pop of your punches more with these gloves as that's what their designed for so use adequate hand wrapping to suite your preference. Do this and these gloves will get better as you break them in. Hope this helps.

I'm not a good example for wraps as I don't really wear them (and I injured myself once or twice), But, I would wear wraps for heavy bag use or serious sparing. Like the other gloves out there, Alone, The integrated wrist wrap does not provide enough support for extensive pounding (in my case, for hooks).

they do cover some but i'm thinking if they don't they would still do the job of giving you great relief and confort i think it would be worth it to try them. I really believe these gloves would work for you. Hope this help with your decision.

I wouldn't recommend it. The whole point of these lighter, fingerless gloves is so that they can be used for mixed martial arts, where you may have to grip/grapple with your opponent. I would recommend going for the heaviest boxing gloves that fit you (I wear and would recommend 16 oz gloves, but some some women/smaller people/people with smaller hands will wear 12 or 14 oz gloves). These a) give you more protection and allow you to hit the bag harder without fear of injury and b) give you a better workout. Think of it like wearing a weighted vest while working out-one that protects you as well (they do actually sell weighted hand wraps and even weighted shinguards for kickboxing). If you're interested in actually fighting (which is usually done with smaller gloves), your punches will be that much more powerful/quicker if you train with heavier gloves.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you are working out with intensity, your knuckles will be sore. Wraps also protect your wrists while punching, so I highly recommend them.

Hi. Yes, I think you'll be good. I imagine they'll be a little big but that is the name of the game unless you get custom fitted gloves.

The knuckles are actually covered somewhat by rubber, which will protect the hands some, and it won't easily break. That said, this glove is not made for punching, so, I wouldn't recommend doing the punching repeatedly as in training with a punching bag wearing these.

I use these gloves for speed bag & double end bag training. If you want to hit the heavy bag you should buy a size bigger than your normal size, so you can wrap your hands. These are good gloves but I personally use my boxing gloves when working out on the heavy bag. My kickboxing gloves don't allow me room to wrap my hands properly. You definitely want to protect your hands. Get the 180" hand wraps, these will be perfect to wrap your hands thoroughly. Everlast, or Meister MMA are really good wraps. I really like the Meister MMA. I am a female, normal size hands, at a little under 5'5". I would've ordered a size large in these kickboxing gloves to allow room to wrap my hands, if I knew, before I ordered these. Hope this helps. Good kickboxing gloves though.

No. They are just average batting gloves. If ur looking for shock reduction look for turboslots they actually have a small pad inside the thumb grove.

No these are weighted gloves though they fit well I don't think I'd use them while shooting

I would say yes. Way better than using true boxing gloves and they still give you protection while working out.

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.

I can't see why not. The material is softer than some punching bags (foam, not rags)but I would think it would still be pretty hard on the hands ... but what do I know. I would say yes but as a massage therapist, I'd say protect your hands

As bag gloves, these would be awful. The weight is across the knuckles and would hurt. They work great for shadow boxing, however.

You could, but really, you want to get weight lifting gloves. These aren't leather, and I don't think they would last long as lifting gloves. You could just live with the calluses that comes with lifting heavy things.

For training yes, but not for sparring or fighting. They don't have alot of padding to block head kicks and the padding is very soft. But they are GREAT gloves

Hello Lisa,I like them. They are comfortable and cushy. My only problem however (and this may be because I am a novice at boxing) is that the exposed fingertips start to hurt after successive punches. So I put the generic mitten style gloves that came with my punching bag over these gloves and it protects my fingertips. Great support on my wrists and good cushioning for the knuckles but the fingertips - not so much. They are also girly cute. Lol. Hope this helps.
