Go to a shop and try them on. It's the only way to be sure. There is no "uniform" hand shape.

I wear size 10 gloves, I can wear 9's but they are a bit tight. The way to measure is to hold your hand flat, and wrap a dressmakers tape around your four finger-knuckles (the widest part of your flat hand keeping your thumb out of the way). Your glove size is the measurement in inches.

Try as many gloves as you can. It took me weeks to find the right pair, some the thumbs were too small but fingers were fine, others thumbs great but little finger too long for mine, some thumbs and fingers fine but palm and knuckles wrong. try different prices too, don't pay out loads because of a name. I ended up with an Rstar pair size 12, ticked all the boxes, should have been £89,99 but J&S had a 20% sale so got them for £72. They fit like a glove Laughing . I was willing to pay upto £150 for a pair, the second best pair I found were only £45, but the first pair felt more snug.
