Not a pair of everyday gloves as they would be slightly impractical for that, but for what they are made for, they definitely fill the purpose. Spikes are heavy and solid, giving the gloves a serious weight. They are very sharp and should be treated with utmost respect, as should the lady wearing them. Especially if she's wearing these and holding your package in a firm grip... A little expensive for what they are, but oh so cool.

and indeed are well made from fine soft leather. The only problem with them, I'm afraid, is that the spikes are not sharp enough! Maybe this is a health and safety issue??
