Make sure the hand is positioned as deep as possible inside the glove, and then play serious catch for about 30 minutes. The glove will usually then be "Field Ready" 2. Always store a Shoeless Joe ball glove with a ball inside the pocket, and secure the ball with a rubber band or other elastic device that wraps around the glove. This process will help maintain the gloves shape3. While being worn, make sure that the hand and fingers are inserted into the glove as far as possible. This will help form the pocket and correctly close the glove when receiving a ball4. Regularly inspect a glove to make sure that all of the laces are securely tied with a square knot. Two or three times a year inspect and tighten the laces. This will help the glove maintain it’s pocket. It is not uncommon to have to replace laces after a couple of years of play.

Really nice glove and Game Ready is no Lie
I played ball for around 25 years, now have 2 kids that play travel ball...so I know gloves. My youngest just turned 9 and plays 1B (he's 5 feet tall, so extremely tall for his age)I would rather spend money on a quality glove that will last a long time vs. spending $100 and it lasting a couple years. Just how I am.I was also skeptical on the "game ready" out of the box with just a quick few minutes of playing catch. They weren't lying, it was game ready with no work. As soon as it came we played catch and the next day it got used in a game. It's like butter... awesome glove. We'll see how longevity is, but it seems like we'll have no issue based on what we're seeing now at 1-2 months in.

Great quality
The quality of the glove was great. I had to return the glove because the wrong hand was sent. Refund/exchange was taken care of promptly and easily.

Great glove we’ll made
Bought for my son who’s 10. He loves it but will take a little time to form it and break it in. We’ll made and seems very durable

Broke in serval places in 6 months
I purchased a Shoeless Joe 100% Leather Vintage First Base Baseball Glove 12" (Left Hand Throw) July 2018. My 11 year old son used for less than 6 months when unfortunately the glove's lacing broke in several spots on one throw. They write on their website "your Shoeless Joe or Jane glove will maintain it’s shape and structure for many enjoyable seasons.” We got less than one season out of our $180 purchase. I contacted the company twice they have not responded at all. They write "A great play is lived only once, but your glove, you'll keep it forever.”... But not this one.
