Why does Sonic and the other characters wears gloves?

If Ты had to run around all day, grab on dirty ledges to keep from falling, if Ты go so fast Ты fall over, if Ты hold Болталка Оружие Ты find in the streets and if Ты had paws instead of fingers, Ты might want gloves

that what i want to know for all they years

Some of them dont (archie comics или Cosmo she never wore them either) I dont know why they wear them I dont get why they wear them either

Gloves are the Mobian trend! Get with it, man!

Maybe the creator couldn't draw hands?
