These gloves are easy and comfortable to wear, they stretch to fit, and I have no idea what would happen if I accidentally slipped the knife and cut into my hand. I haven't done it yet. However, wearing them doesn't impair my shucking (I'm a novice, but it seems easy), and my wearing them makes my husband feel more confident that I am safe and we won't have to rush to the ER.I have medium to small hands, and I bought the small. There is still room in the fingers and the hand, so I recommend buying the small size if you are a 5'2 woman of medium build with short to medium fingers.
