So the wife got me super fancy professional curling shoes for V-day. Appearently I'm taking way too long getting setup when I'm playing matches and she thought having real curling shoes would help speed me up.
What makes them curling shoes? Well, instead of a normal rubber bottom, each shoe has two circular velcro areas. On the right shoe you get little rubber attachments that velcro on to the shoe so it acts like a normal shoe and grips the ice, as well as could be expected. For the left shoe you get teflon disks to velcro on. This is the shoe you 'slide' on when throwing the stone. You can see the teflon disks clearly in the picture. Not shown is the cute little rubber booty that slips over the bottom of the left shoe, to protect the teflon when you are not on the ice.
