How do I break in my new glove?
There are several methods to break in your new glove.  The key to breaking in a glove is time.  Typically, the better the leather, the longer it takes to break in.  Please see our Breaking In A Glove section for more information.

What size glove should I get?
Usually, infielders are going to use smaller gloves so they can control them better because their reaction time is much less than that of an outfielder.  Infielder’s gloves are also smaller so the fielder can get the ball out of the pocket faster so they are able throw out runners.  The outfielder’s gloves are usually larger with a deeper pocket because they are running down and chasing fly balls and having a larger mitt helps them cut down a little distance off the ball.  See Sizing a Glove.

How long does it take to break in a glove?
As a general rule, the better the leather, the longer it takes to break the glove in.  See Breaking in a Glove

How does glove oil help protect and break in a ball glove?

Glove oil is the choice among serious ball players at all levels, including professionals. The professional formula used in glove oil is a light all-purpose oil specially blended to penetrate deeply and evenly. It contains only the finest ingredients without any harsh chemicals. It helps break-in and soften new gloves, and also helps to restore and protect the original freshness of older gloves by feeding the leather and replacing lost oils. Glove oil also guards against harmful moisture, mold and mildew. It dries quickly without leaving a residue. It will not harm the stitching or make your glove heavy, even if accidentally over oiled. Glove oil also works great on gloves that are pre-oiled.
