Goalkeeper glove size chart: round your hand circumference to the nearest inch and add 1, or round the hand length up and add 1. An 8" hand takes a size 9 (Reusch 8). Negative cut fits closest, flat palm roomiest; between sizes, go up.

05 / Field guide
Goalkeeper gloves are sized in numbers from 4 (youth) to about 12, and the rule Keeperstop gives is quick: round your hand circumference to the nearest inch and add 1, or round the hand length up to the next inch and add 1 (its example: a 7.5" hand rounds to 8, size 9). An 8" hand is a size 9; Reusch sells the same scale in half sizes by circumference (size 8 = 20.3 cm).
A negative cut sews the seams inside the glove for the closest fit; Keeperstop’s advice for a loose glove is to size down or choose a negative cut. A flat palm with outside seams is the roomiest. Roll-finger gloves wrap the latex round the finger edges; hybrids mix the two.
Gloves with fingersave spines feel stiffer; when between sizes go up rather than down.
size = circumference (in) rounded + 1 or hand length (in) rounded up + 1
Keeperstop warns that the add-one rule does not work for true youth gloves, which are narrower at the wrist. Its youth guide: sizes 4–5 for ages 7–9 (4'6"–4'8"), 6–7 for 10–12 (4'10"–5'0"). Reusch’s kids chart runs 3.5 for ages 5–6 to 7 for 14–16.
Brand cuts differ inside a size: when the sizer lands between two sizes, or on the edge of a band, try both.
Lay the hand on the 1:1 ruler with the thumb out and measure across the four knuckles; the sizer turns the width into a circumference (× 2.42 for men, × 2.41 for women). A strip of paper wrapped round the palm and laid on the ruler replaces that estimate with the measurement itself, and keepers between sizes should use it: half an inch of circumference is a whole goalkeeper size.
For a child, measure each season: the median hand grows about a size every two to three years through primary school. Reusch’s kids’ scale runs 3.5 for 5–6, 4 for 6–7, 4.5 for 7–8, 5 for 8–9, 5.5 for 9–10, 6 for 10–12, 6.5 for 12–14, 7 for 14–16.
A browser does not know how big its pixels are, so the sizer starts from a table of 114 phones, tablets, laptops and monitors matched to your screen’s size and pixel ratio, an estimate good to about five percent. Laying a coin or a bank card on the glass and matching its outline replaces the estimate with a measurement good to a fraction of a percent, saved for this screen only.
Browser zoom is corrected automatically from the pixel ratio; pinch zoom is flagged, because nothing drawn is true size until it is undone.

Questions
Measure round the widest part of the palm below the knuckles, thumb out. Round to the nearest inch and add 1: an 8" hand is a size 9.
Yes, slightly: the fingertips should have a little room. Between sizes, choose the larger.
A glove with the seams inside, for the closest fit and the most control. Flat palms with outside seams are roomier.
Usually 6 to 7: Keeperstop’s youth guide puts ages 10–12 at sizes 6–7, and Reusch’s kids chart puts 10–12 at 6.
They feel stiffer and bulkier; if you are between sizes, take the larger one.
