Non-slip curling gripper

This accessory provides crucial traction on the ice, preventing slips and ensuring stability for the non-sliding foot during stone delivery.

A non-slip curling gripper stretches over the sole of a shoe to add traction on the ice while walking and sweeping. It suits beginners playing in regular shoes and experienced curlers who want a spare, and it is small enough to tuck into a stocking.

Usually $15–$25Curling
