Excellent, but order a size down for the best compression
I was unsure about giving these gloves 4 or 5 stars only because I'm not sure how long they'll hold up (I've only had them for a few weeks and they are already showing more wear than expected since I primarily wear them at night in bed), but I decided on five stars because they really do work and they have helped me tremendously. I broke my right hand two months ago and when the cast came off, my hand was so swollen and painful I could barely move it. I've broken bones before but the swelling this time was truly awful. On top of that, I've had some serious carpal tunnel issues in recent months in my left hand.For my broken hand, the orthopedic surgeon told me to expect pain and swelling for many months (like 6-12) but these gloves have made a HUGE difference. With the reduction in swelling, I've been able to use my hand much more easily (kinda hard to do much with a swollen mit and sausage fingers) which has enabled me to regain strength and flexibility far more quickly than I ever could have otherwise. For that alone these gloves deserve ten stars. Then using the other glove under my carpal tunnel wrist brace at night has ended that last little bit of pain/numbness. The brace alone was working great, but combined with the compression glove, my hand and wrist actually feel normal again.My only recommendation is to order a size down. I measure as a size S but ordered the XS just to make sure there was enough compression. The XS has been perfect. Overall, these gloves are very soft, comfortable, and provide a perfect level of compression (if you get the right size). Even if I have to replace them in a few months, they have been worth every penny for the relief they've provided. I am so glad to have found them!

2 isotoner womens One Pair of Open Finger Cold Weather Gloves
These things are teriffic! They calm my achy fingers and keep my lower finger joints warm, even in the summer. Bought two of them to make sure that they last a while.- My first pair has already lasted 20 years. BTW, they are not that tight and they don't hurt. They are a "goldy locks" product and I will never be without them again!

Wear these daily when writing
I do a lot of handwriting every day. I'm right handed, but I wear gloves on both hands. These gloves have been a life saver! First, they protect my pinky from rubbing against the paper when I write. Second, they help my hand to stay still and firm, instead of feeling loose all over the page. And I find that my fingers don't tire as easily when I'm wearing these gloves. The compression definitely works on my arthritic hands!Each glove has the Isotoner brand name on the bottom of the glove. The exterior stitching means they feel seamless on my fingers. I don't know who thought of this but they're brilliant! No stitching to rub against my fingers. And the material is nice and stretchy, I have complete mobility wearing these gloves. They're so comfortable that I literally have to remember to take them off when I'm not writing.

Wow! Life-changing gloves
I've only had these gloves for 24 hrs. They are already changing my life. An in-home fall that resulted in a badly broken wrist has left me with neuropathy in the thumb and first three fingers of my hand. Most people have no concept of what it means to have numbness and pain at the same time. And especially when it's in your dominant hand, it's even more devastating. Within an hour of putting on this glove, my pain level had dropped from an 8 to a 2. And because of the length of the finger coverings, I'm finding that it's more comfortable to touch and handle things as well, like flatware while eating, which normally feels like I'm trying to hold onto a block of ice. The whole "ache-factor" has dropped to a manageable level for the first time in months. What a revelation and a relief.I'd hesitated to buy these glove after getting a lukewarm response from my OT, who was concerned that my hand wouldn't get enough "normal" exercise with them on. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that I'm actually using my hand more, plus the gentle compression actually exercises my hand during routine activities. I do, however, remove the glove to do the prescribed OT exercises, which I think is important.I only gave 4 stars because: 1) they're slippery - I'd like to see a version with sticky dots like hospitals put on their socks, so that I could pick up a glass without having it slip out of my hand; 2) I'd like to see these gloves offered in single glove packages, for people who only need therapy on one hand; and 3) please, a black and/or dark brown version! In just one day of relatively low use the beige color already looks a little dingy.I've just ordered a pair of the full-fingered version for days that are cooler or when my fingertips are just plain cold. Aside from the concerns listed above, I highly recommend these gloves for anyone who needs pain relief for their hands.And that extra glove? I turned it inside-out and will use it for an alternate. Amazingly, despite the neuropathy,the seams don't seem to bother me.

Great choice
The length is longer than most other gloves I’ve seen which really supports the wrist well. Very comfortable material with light compression. Pleased with the gloves overall.

Love These Gloves - Warm & Therapeutic & Give Tactile Access Too
Ive been wearing Isotoner gloves for decades. These r the first open-finger gloves I have ever owned & love them even more, because I have fuller range of motion & hands r warm at same time. Good for chilly weather, when full-gloves arent necessary - arent as bulky & dont have to remove & put back on because of that.The material is perfect - soft but securely holds @ the same time. The length is perfect, not too long or short .. keeps your wrists warm at the same time.Very happy with Isotoner as usual🙃Their Beanies & Scarves & Slippers r faves tooThey also have perfect womens Chevron Driving Gloves - Lined for warmth or Unlined; always missed them when I didnt have them, & had to go find them again.
