Baseball Glove Steaming

Glove Steaming: How it Works

While you may consider glove steaming at home, doing so is dangerous for both you and your glove. Instead, bring in your glove and our Glove PROS will use professional equipment and have the appropriate training to ensure proper glove steaming. Glove steaming is FREE with glove purchase at DICK'S of $179.99 or more (Bring in your receipt if purchased online) A previously owned glove or glove purchased for under $179.99 costs $25 for a steaming.

Leather Conditioner

PROS use a specialized, manufacturer-approved conditioner to prep the leather. This opens pores in the leather, helping it soften.

Steamer

The glove is placed into a steamer at time increments based on the type of leather. Heat loosens the leather and laces, while the steam infuses the glove with water molecules to make it more malleable at key break-in points.

Wooden Mallet

In between steaming, PROS pound the steamed glove with a wooden mallet to loosen hinge points of the glove until they achieve the custom fit you need.
