Average Customer Review
The AOZ-91 easily broke-in, took about 3 days of playing catch and one treatment of glove oil. The glove leather is soft yet very durable. My son loves the feel of the glove on his hand and the high quality leather/padding appears to have eliminated any stinging. This puts many higher priced adult gloves to shame.
None after 2 months of regular use.

If I (as an adult) stick my hand in my kid's youth glove in the process of breaking it in, is that harmful if my kid later sticks his hand in there (only) to keep breaking it in? I've seen comments saying it is bad for an adult or anyone other than the user to stick their hands into a youth glove.
I wouldn't say that it would be harmful to put your hand in the Akadema Prodigy Series: AOZ91-12 Youth glove, but it would alter how the glove is broken in. The problem would be that the glove would break-in forming to your hand rather than your players hand. It could also potentially stretch the wrist opening and finger stalls resulting in a more loose fit for your player.
My son has made travel team for this coming spring and I'm looking to get him a new glove. He is 7 years old but both he and I have wide hands with shorter fingers. Mostly he tends to play infield, pitcher and catcher. What might you suggest for shorter fingers?
Youth model gloves such as the Akadema Prodigy Series (AOZ91-12) will account for shorter fingers for players. For his age, we would typically recommend something a bit smaller possibly in a 10.5 inch size like the Akadema Rookie Series (AJP96).
I am looking for a glove for my 12 year old. He is 5'2", plays pitcher and short stop. I am guessing an 11.50" or 11.75"size, but would like some info.
Based on his age and position, we suggest an 11.50" model. The Akadema Prodigy Series (AOZ91-12) Youth is an 11.25" pattern and is an acceptable glove for him to use as well.

DIRECTIONS:
(1) - First remove any existing dirt by wiping the glove with a clean, dry cloth.
(2) - When clean, rub a small amount of conditioner into the leather with hands or clean cloth.
(3) - Work it into the web, palm, laces, inside of the glove, & any other area that has become dry or is starting to crack.
(4) - When finished, place your glove in a warm, dry area (70 - 90 F) & allow the leather to absorb the conditioner for 24 hrs.
(5) - Re-treat your glove when you notice the leather is starting to dry out. Prior to the off-season, apply a light coat of conditioner to keep the leather from becoming brittle.
