I have a pair of Eagle X46i gloves and they were fine until i had them for a month then they started to get crusty and crispy when i aired them out and i dont know if all gloves do this after a while or what i could do about it? if anybody has a solution to this problem post it

Marcelo said something about Shaving Cream with Lanolin.....

Try that and rub it in the inside of the palm and let it dry for 24 hrs.

The cheapest and easiest way to fix this is to just put a little bit of water on the plam before you use them and it wont be crusty for the game or practice.

they will go back however after they air out again, so you have to do this everytime

Have any of you guys tried baseball glove conditioning oil to relieve the " glove crusties" or does it make the palm too slick?

Shaving cream is the way to go for either baseball or hockey gloves; never liked the way conditioners leave the leather feeling.

Thats exactly what I would do with my Eagle X70i,the water was freezing but,surprisingly my hands werent icecubes on the ice.

For baseball gloves, shaving cream is not the way to go. A lot of times (depending on your glvoe) it makes it worse. A long time ago (like 2.5 years) I took some of this franklin leather stuff (worked wonderful for gloves) and put on bauer supreme 30's and it turned the palm slick and a darker color. Didnt look to good but it did stop it from getting crusty.

baseball gloves and shaving cream is the way tyo go. thats the way i break them in(takes less time)

[lesterhenson 0]

nah, get some of the franklin stuff, its even better. Its not like regulaur glove "oil" it comes out foamy just like shaving cream but it sinks into the glove much better and dirt doesnt build up as bad. You should try it, I think it is really worth the money ( like 2 dollars US) and one little can lasts a long time.

Not to get this too off topic but all I've needed to get a glove broken in is shaving cream, a belt and a microwave.

i just sit or step on the glove for a while to break it in ,when theyre crusty i put a tiny bit of water on them

mack, please elaborate What's the microwave used for? :D

[mack 44]

As long as it didn't have metal on it, I'd toss my glove in there and warm it up to help break it down.

[Langenbrunner15 0]

Yes same here mack, i put some chaving cream on my gloves and then smeer it all over and then into the microwave for a couple secounds.

i wasnt really asking for baseball gloves but thanks for all the advice, I have been using water on the palms but i find that that gets a kind of slimey feeling after I use them and i was trying to find a way to make my gloves not get crusty after they air out

[lesterhenson 0]

What baseball gloves do you guys have?

[mack 44]

Trap-eze

Edit: It's Rawlings. Would have gone for Eagle but I don't think they have a 6-finger glove yet, plus this bastard's like 5yrs old.

I menat like what brand. I have a mizuno with a weird pocket( it's like trapeze but it has the weave in the middle) and I have a mizuno with the weave pattern and a mizuno with the "big" weave for outfield (its my dads).
