Marco Soto, the founder of Soto Gloves in Long Beach, California, has a deep passion for baseball that started in his childhood in Mexico. His love for the game was passed down from his grandfather, who made him his first custom glove. This glove was the beginning of Soto’s journey into the world of glove-making.
As he grew older and moved to Long Beach Poly High School, Soto’s teammates were intrigued 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 with a special software program where customers can choose the shape, style, size, and color of their glove. The process of creating a custom glove at Soto Gloves takes about eight to ten weeks, ensuring that each glove is made with attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. The gloves are not mass-produced, but rather made-to-order to meet each player’s specific needs and preferences.
Soto and his team are 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 the ground up, Soto takes pride in bringing his love for baseball to the U.S. through his custom glove-making company.
