FAQs

What's the advantage of lace-up over velcro? Lace-up gloves provide a tighter, more customised fit with superior wrist support. They're the standard for professional fights and preferred by many serious trainers for the locked-in feel.

Do I need help putting these on? Yes — lace-up gloves require a training partner, corner person, or a lace-up tightening tool to secure properly. That's the trade-off for the superior fit.

Can I use these for everyday training? Absolutely, though many fighters keep lace-ups for sparring and competition and use velcro gloves for daily bag and pad work for convenience.

Are these suitable for Muay Thai? Yes. Twins Special is one of Thailand's most iconic Muay Thai brands, and these gloves are designed for all striking disciplines including Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing.
