Goalkeeper gloves Reusch Attrakt and Gold X

Why choose goalkeeper gloves Reusch?

You choose goalkeeper gloves Reusch when you want a pair designed primarily for grip and touch precision. Reusch is a German manufacturer specializing in goalkeeper equipment, which is evident in the construction of its gloves: palm foam, cut, and backhand are all worked on separately, and it’s the combination of these three that gives a model its character.

Specifically, for you as the goalkeeper, this translates into three simple questions. What level of grip do you need on the surfaces where you play, how tight do you want them around your fingers, and how many training sessions per week will the pair need to withstand? The rest, such as colour and collection styles, is down to personal taste.

Attrakt Gold X: what you find in the Reusch selection today

The Reusch selection on this page focuses on the Attrakt line, specifically the Gold X version from the 2026 World Cup collection. The Attrakt line is the brand's family of competition gloves, and the suffix Gold X designates the stickiest palm foam in the Reusch catalogue, which the brand positions at the top of its latex range.

Two models structure this selection:

• The goalkeeper gloves Reusch Attrakt Gold X NC, made in a negative cut, meaning the seams are turned inside the glove. This is the tightest cut, which holds the palm close to the hand and gives the most direct feel on contact with the ball.
• The goalkeeper gloves Reusch Attrakt Gold X Evolution, worn by Croat international Dominik Livakovic. The Evolution cut uses the same principle as the negative cut but repositions the seams around the fingers for a snug fit that’s a bit more enclosing.

On a pair of this level, the palm foam is made to grip the ball, not to last indefinitely on abrasive surfaces. If you train a lot on hard synthetic pitches, it’s common to keep this type of pair for matches and have a second, more durable pair for training sessions.

NC cut or Evolution cut: how to choose?

The choice between NC cut and Evolution cut comes down to the tightness you’re looking for, not the performance of the foam, which is the same on both Attrakt Gold X. The negative cut, abbreviated to NC, places the seams inside: the palm is in immediate contact with the skin, making the glove feel closer to the body, and many goalkeepers prefer it for this second-skin sensation.

The Evolution cut is based on the same logic of internal seams, but its assembly around the fingers allows for a bit more volume in length. If you have slender fingers, the NC will probably suit you better. If a strictly negative cut pinches your fingertips after an hour of play, the Evolution is worth trying. If in doubt, keep in mind that a glove that is too tight tires the hands faster than a glove that is slightly loose.

What size of goalkeeper gloves Reusch to choose?

The size of a glove is measured by the hand circumference, in centimetres, just below the fingers, and then converted into glove size. You should add about a centimetre to allow for finger movement: a glove where the index touches the seam is too short, and the foam will tear prematurely in the pressure area.

Two useful points. Firstly, tight cuts like the NC fit more snugly than a classic cut, so if you’re switching from an external-seam glove to a negative cut, the same size won’t give the same feel. Secondly, for a child or a teenager in growth, it’s better to go for a size that fits just right but is usable straight away, rather than a pair that’s too big where the hand moves around: wrist support and grip accuracy depend directly on this.

Other goalkeeper glove brands to compare

Reusch isn’t the only brand of goalkeeper gloves in the catalogue, and comparing two or three manufacturers before buying is often the best way to find the cut that fits your hands. Each brand has its dedicated page:

• The gloves Uhlsport, another major German specialist in the position, to check out if you want to compare competition pairs with those from Reusch.
• The gloves T1TAN, a brand entirely dedicated to the goalkeeper, known for its bold colours.
• The gloves adidas and the gloves Nike, if you want to match your gloves with the rest of your equipment from the same brand.
• The gloves Puma, for a broader comparison of match models.
• The gloves HO Soccer and the gloves Select, two specialised brands to explore when looking for something beyond the most common references.
• The gloves Erima, Joma, Macron and Errea, useful especially when your club is already equipped with one of these suppliers.

Once you’ve chosen your pair, the page glove care brings together the washing and foam care products that significantly affect the grip's lifespan. And for an overall view, everything is compiled on the page goalkeeper gloves.

How to make the grip of your gloves Reusch last?

The grip of your gloves lasts longer if you dampen them before playing and wash them afterwards. Palm foam works better slightly damp than dry, and the dirt that gets embedded is what makes you lose grip the fastest, well before mechanical wear sets in.

The principle is simple: rinse in lukewarm water after the session, no machine, no drying on a radiator or in direct sunlight, and leave to dry flat, palm up, in the open air. The products meant for this are compiled on the page glove care.

Where to find good deals on goalkeeper gloves Reusch?

Discounted goalkeeper gloves can be found on the permanent sales pages of the site, which are updated as collections come to an end. The clearance section features pairs from previous seasons, often technically identical models to those from the current year but in older colours, while the good deals and special offers group the current discounts across the entire catalogue.

Regarding timing, four occasions are worth noting, in this order: Black Friday, then the end-of-year holidays if you’re looking for a pair as a gift, followed by the winter sales, and finally the French Days in spring. The summer sales and the start of the season close the loop, as new collections arrive.

If you want the latest models instead, the new arrivals from the goalkeeper specialist filter the latest drops for the position, and the page new arrivals covers the whole site. Finally, when you have an upcoming match, the selection shipped in 24 hours allows you to focus on products that are dispatched quickest.

Frequently asked questions

Do the Reusch Attrakt gloves come in youth sizes?

The Attrakt line is available from Reusch in adult sizes and junior sizes depending on the models and seasons, but not all variations are offered in both formats at the same time. The most reliable way is to check the sizes displayed on the product page of the pair you’re interested in. If you’re equipping a young goalkeeper, the page goalkeeper gloves allows you to broadly look at junior options across all brands.

Do Reusch gloves need finger protection bars?

The bars are reinforcements placed in the back of the fingers to limit hyperextension, and they aren’t suitable for everyone. They reassure goalkeepers who have had a finger sprain before, but they stiffen the hand and can hinder those who frequently restart play from a catch. If you’ve never had issues with your fingers, a pair without bars remains a sensible choice.

Why do premium goalkeeper gloves cost more?

The price difference mainly comes from the palm foam: the stickiest latex is the softest, making it the most expensive to produce and the quickest to wear out. A competition glove like an Attrakt Gold X is optimized for grip on match day, not for enduring five training sessions per week on stabilised surfaces. Current prices are those listed on each product page.

How do I know if my gloves need replacing?

The clearest sign is the palm: when the foam becomes smooth, shiny, or starts to flake, the grip won’t return, even after washing. A loose finger seam or a wristband that no longer holds tight are two other reasons for replacement. Many goalkeepers then keep the old pair for training and reserve the new one for matches.

Can you wear Reusch goalkeeper gloves for futsal or on synthetic turf?

Yes, but the choice of foam matters more than the brand. Hard, abrasive surfaces, including parquet, wear out very soft latex designed for grass faster, and some pairs are specifically made for these surfaces. Check the intended use indicated on the model's page before ordering, and compare as needed with other brands available on the page goalkeeper gloves.
