    I use Ringside gloves. Really comfortable and formed to my hand.

    If you get one of the higher end pair, the ones that go for around $80 or so and I think re sparring gloves they should mold to your hand as you use them.

    That's cause they're vinyl. Vinyl is about as low end as they'll come, I would think there's a decent chance they'd get rips in them from use.

    If you're going to box at all seriously, just invest in a good pair of gloves. They'll last for years and protect your hands from injuries.

    I take boxing very serious, but I'm going into the Air Force next year, so won't have much time for it

    You're usually going to need bigger than 12oz to last very long.

    One of the guys who trains at my gym has a pair of those, the only problem is that I can't fork over $99
