Equipment

Personal curling equipment is very simple and inexpensive.  A broom can be a short-haired brush or cloth-covered pad costing as little as $40.  For footwear, a pair of clean, non-slip athletic shoes will suffice.  A removable slider, about $20, can be worn over one sole.  Specialized insulated shoes are available that incorporate a gripper sole and a sliding sole.  Clothing should keep you warm on the ice but allow flexibility and room for movement.  Jeans are not recommended. Stones are owned by the club and remain at the curling venue.
