Is it normal for oven gloves to wear down/stop protecting you?

So this is probably a dumb question, but I have this pair of bbq oven gloves that you probably could’ve stuck your hand in fire with them on. I used then a lot in the 3.5 years I’ve had them (obviously I didn’t just use them for bbq, I’d use them for anything involving the oven/heat) but lately they seem to be letting more heat through than normal (nearly burning me earlier today when taking a plate of nachos out from under the broiler) whereas before I could hold onto a burning hot cast iron pan for a long time without even feeling heat. Is this normal?
