Default New Glove Discomfort

I recently ordered some Held Ninja gloves from NewEnough.com that arrived today. I measured my hand according to Held's instructions, but the gloves seem snug enough that I'm questioning whether or not I'll be comfortable in them. Can I expect them to stretch out a little, or should I send them back and get the next biggest size?

Leather always stretches a little. By I guess it's a subjective call.

My gloves were a bit tight when they were new, but they stretched out enough over time and continuous use to be comfortable.

Usually wear like that in the palms is caused by the same phenomenon that causes blindness.

Leather gloves stretch a little with regular use. They can also draw up with moisture or lack of use, just ask O.J.
