What do you put on your foot in curling?

Answer 1

You wear a "slider" made of Teflon (or sometimes anodized metal). If you are right-handed, the slider goes on your left foot, or vice versa. Sliders come in a few different thicknesses of teflon. The thicker the teflon, the more slippery the slider, in general. A metall slider will also be very slippery, but these are not too common. Sliders are held onto the foot using an elastic band. Folks who choose curling as a serious hobby usually buy a pair of curling shoes, which has the slider built into the sole of the shoe, but comes with a rubber "gripper" that covers the slider and provides grip when the player wants grip.
