Dear GloveFlex,
The worst part about getting a new glove is breaking it in. It can take weeks to months to get it how you want it. Unless you get it steamed. Getting a glove steamed decreases it’s stiffness and helps an athlete break their new glove in. I’ve done it both ways and trying to break in a glove that hasn’t been steamed just isn’t worth the effort.
