It may or may not be the gloves. Try changing hand positions periodically. Maybe every 5 or 10 minutes. Try that with and without gloves, and see what works best.

IMHO, gloves are not needed for cycling, even ultradistance. I rode Paris-Brest-Paris (1200km) in 2003 without gloves and had no problems with hand or palm soreness.
