Softball & Baseball Glove Steaming

Save weeks of break-in time with glove steaming at DICK'S Sporting Goods

Let our PROS get your glove or mitt game-ready in minutes with our in-store glove steaming service. By using cleatPRO® or Mizuno glove steamers, our PROS can quickly soften the leather, relax the seams and shape and mold the pocket and hinge points to deliver a custom fit. This process is great for both brand-new and pre-worn gloves.

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.

Leather conditioner icon

Leather Conditioner

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

Steamer icon

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.

Mallet icon

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.
