The shoes for curling should definitely be non-slip, as you play on a smooth and quite slippery surface. In addition, waterproof and lined shoes are not a disadvantage at all, since you don't move too much when ice curling and moisture can accumulate in the shoes. Many people also rely on shoes with a higher shaft, which provides additional stability. In addition to some artificial ice rinks where curling can be practiced, Ötztal in Tirol also offers a very special experience for pursuing this sport: in winter, if the ice layer is thick enough, alpine curling can be played in a scenic idyll on the natural ice surface of lake Piburger See.
