A glove comprising:
- a glove body made from fibers;
- and
- a plurality of convexities fixed at least on the palm side area of the external surface of the glove body, the convexities comprising a base material made of a rubber or a resin, and a filler contained in the base material;
- and
- wherein the filler has a surface made from an organic substance,
- the plurality of convexities are arranged in a scattered manner,
- bases of the convexities are impregnated in a layer at said external surface of the glove body,
- the glove body comprises:
- a main body portion formed for covering a main body of a hand;
- and an extended portion extended from the main body portion formed for covering fingers,
- wherein the extended portion comprises an index finger portion, a middle finger portion and a ring finger portion that cover an index finger, a middle finger and a ring finger, respectively, and

A method for producing a glove, the method comprising:
- preparing a convexity-forming material including a base material made of a rubber or a resin, and a filler having a filler surface made from an organic substance;
- attaching the convexity-forming material on an external surface of a glove body by placing a plate having a plurality of through holes on the external surface of the palm side area of the glove body, followed by filling the through holes of the plate with the convexity-forming material to permit attaching;
- releasing the plate after attaching;
- and
- heating the convexity-forming material to harden the convexities after releasing the plate, wherein
- the plurality of convexities are arranged in a scattered manner,
- bases of the convexities are impregnated in a layer at said external surface of the glove body,
- the glove body comprises:
- a main body portion formed for covering a main body of a hand;
- and an extended portion extended from the main body portion formed for covering fingers,
- wherein the extended portion comprises an index finger portion, a middle finger portion and a ring finger portion that cover an index finger, a middle finger and a ring finger, respectively, and
- wherein a convexity-free region in which the convexities are not formed is provided at sites corresponding to proximal interphalangeal joints on each surface of the palm sides of the index finger portion, the middle finger portion and the ring finger portion on the palm side surface.
