This is very tricky and a bit of a "how long is a piece of string?" question.

  • A pro will go through 30+ pairs a season
  • The average keeper should expect to use 3-5 pairs
  • Young developing keepers can absolutely churn through gloves

How long they last depends on many factors, every keeper's experience will be different depending on:

  • Age of keeper
  • Technique
  • Playing surface
  • How they were prepared
  • How often they train and play
  • If proper glove care is followed
  • Volume of saves and how busy your defence is making you!
  • Luck

It is possible to own two of the exact same pair of gloves, and see one pair last one month while the other lasts four months.
