I bought these gloves to help my arthritic hands and wrists while I crochet. They feel very good on the hands, easy to put on and off, and supply just enough tension to act like 'SUPPORT HOSE" to ease the pain of constant movement while working with my hands. It was hard to get used to working with them on, as they are slippery on the crochet hook. But if you just keep at it, you will learn to get used to it,and adapt. i wish I would have had them for past work where my hands hurt so much. I am 73 years old, and crochet for hours every day, as I supplement my income by selling my items.
