I'm really struggling to find gloves that fit where the fingers aren't too long.

I've got some five summer gloves that are kind of ok, but can anyone recommend any winter gloves that might be good for my type of hand/fingers?

What brands are the summer gloves? I would suppose that they use the same hand model summer and winter.

I had a pair of Knox Handroids which seemed OK at first but on the bike it became apparent that they had long fingers yet short palms. Weird. As a result they pinched the ‘webs’ at the junction between fingers and palm.

If your fingers aren’t touching the tips but everything else is fine that’s probably acceptable.

They are made by "Five", they are ok on the index and ring fingers but the other 2 fingers are too long, especially the little finger. I'm thinking of trying some of theirs in winter gloves.

Virtually all gloves I've tried are way too long on the fingers, so much so that it's uncomfortable.

I think Held might offer some (most?) of its gloves in different finger lengths.

In your shoes (gloves Smile ), I would contact SportsBikeShop to ask what’s possible to order. They sell numerous Held gloves and should be able to find out. Alternatively, you could ask Held directly:
