>> find some locally to try on.
I will try the garden departments in Lowes and Home Depot. It's a fairly long drive to find a nursery since my favorite one closed.
>> I don't think you will be happy with an extra large as it is 10 inch circumference. That is 2 inches bigger than you need.
I'll still stick with "XL" until I can try one. The printed page is very clear, althoguh I suppose the "8 inches" is also clear. But I can get by with a big glove.
I'll be using them mostly to pull on tight compression stockings and pulling the wrinkles out of them. I don't need a good fit for that, but I do need to be able to get my hand into them.
