[question] Bought fake Winning gloves from Pakistan. Should I still use them?
I’m very new to the boxing world and just do it recreationally through a club at my college. I grew tired of the loaner Everlast velcro gloves feeling unstable and not secure when training and sparring, so I bought my own pair of lace up gloves.
I bought 16oz Winning white training gloves off of EBay that I’m now 99.9% sure are the fake/knock offs ones from Pakistan. I paid 85$ + tax and shipping for them and they just arrived today.
*Other than being inauthentic, is there any safety or performance concerns I should be aware of that would make you suggest I don’t use these gloves? *
I probably won’t be able to get a refund if I wanted to, and frankly I don’t want to deal with that process. I genuinely love the look of these gloves, I just want to make sure they’re still worth using for sparring and training.
