X2. I really like the Shoeless Joe gloves. They come in ready to roll.


The Nokona gloves are soft and well made as well and don't require alot of break in time or oil to help soften it......


I call BS on that...They are well made, real leather, but the catchers mitts are hell to break in...Fielders gloves are easier to break in and last a long time


I wasn't a catcher... I played third base in college.... My daughter plays short now... Best and easiest glove I have ever used...... you may be right about the catchers mitt.... When I was playing.... our catcher always used Rawlings or a Mizuno mitt...... whoever we were sponsored by at the time.... but then again.... that's been almost 20 years ago....
