Goalkeeper gloves with or without strap?

Strapless goalie gloves can be secure, but the security and fit depend on the design and quality of the glove, as well as the goalkeeper's individual preferences. A strap (velcro or other closure) helps to keep the glove securely on the wrist, which can improve stability and control, but some strapless gloves are designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit without this feature.

Some goalies find strapless gloves more comfortable because they don't have the pressure of a strap on their wrist. The absence of a strap can allow for greater freedom of movement for the fingers and wrist. There are also some goalies who simply prefer the look of strapless gloves.

In our opinion, there are some drawbacks to note at a high performance/competitive level, where every detail counts:

Reduced stability:
Without a strap, the glove can move more at the wrist, which can affect ball control.

Risk of slipping:
In some situations, strapless gloves can slip more easily, especially in wet or sweaty conditions. When the glove is soaked, there is a tendency for the glove to move.

What you should consider...
Glove quality: High-quality strapless gloves are designed to provide a good fit and safety, even without a strap.

Personal preference: Choosing between gloves with and without a strap is often a matter of personal preference and comfort.

Playing conditions: In wet or sweaty matches, gloves with straps can provide greater safety and stability.

For us, details count, and with respect to those who prefer goalkeeper gloves without straps, we believe that stability with straps is better.
