Why not alter the gloves, if you find a set you like? A small hem along the sides and shorten the fingers.
I have the opposite problem. I have very long fingers, so I have a lot of trouble finding gloves as well.

I was why given a pair of Machingers to use since then, and after 45 minutes my wrists broke out in a rash. I don't usually have sensitive skin to anything, but who knows. Anyway, I recommend the Bats!!!
Machingers are latex based. I can't use them either, same reason. Perhaps you have a sensitivity to latex?
How are these Bats different than the ones with the frogs on the labels (I can't remember what they're called)? Besides shape and color? Perhaps there are other less expensive commercial options too.
