  • if you plan to wear trainers, check that the soles are RUBBER, and not a synthetic composition
  • Check that the soles of your shoes are totally clean (wash with soap and water and let dry thoroughly)
  • Even tiny pieces of dirt can damage the ice playing surface
  • Don't borrow a friend's curling shoes just yet!
