Nashbar has a decent set of very affordable gloves. Nashbar Crochet Gloves - Normal Shipping Ground
You don't need to spend $30+ to test, nor $80 to restack your steering - yet, anyway.

Search the forums extensively. There is an awful lot of conversation over the years on various hands and finger issues.
Tingling, numbness, soreness, carpal tunnel, etc. etc. Dig around. The most important thing I've learned over the years is to spend most of the time with my weight on the heals of my hands, not the fingers, not the joints, not the -v-, not the center of my palm. When you do a regular old push-up, that point where you put your weight at the heal of your palm? That's the position for the majority of my riding time now. Fixed my discomfort issues. BTW, I do ride with those Nashbar gloves, though I really like my Chiba's. Chiba also makes wheelchair gloves and their products have much higher design spec, IMO.
