Marco Soto, a passionate baseball enthusiast with roots in Mexico, founded Soto Gloves in Long Beach, California. His love for the game was inherited from his grandfather who crafted him his first custom glove. This experience ignited a journey into the world of glove-making.
When Soto attended Long Beach Poly High School, his teammates were amazed by his personalized glove with his name on it. This sparked the idea for Soto to create a business where players could get gloves that were truly unique to them. Soto Gloves offers custom-made gloves that are designed using a special software program where customers can select the shape, style, size and color of their glove.
At Soto Gloves, creating a custom glove is an art form that takes about eight to ten weeks. The gloves are not mass-produced but rather made-to-order to meet each player’s specific needs and preferences. The team at Soto Gloves is dedicated to providing top-notch customer service and ensuring that each glove is broken in before it is shipped to the customer. With 1,800 custom orders to fulfill, Soto Gloves is on a mission to deliver high-quality, personalized gloves to baseball and softball players who share the same passion for the game.
As a Mexican immigrant who has built a successful business from scratch, Soto takes pride in bringing his love for baseball to the U.S through his custom glove-making company. Soto Gloves is located in Signal Hill and is a testament to Soto’s dedication to the sport and his commitment to creating quality products for players of all ages and skill levels.
