Protecting Your Curling Shoe(s)

You know how, when you slide out of the hack, you tend to wear out the toe of the shoe that drags along the ice?

You know how many people try to protect the toe of their shoe by putting duct tape on it?

Jerry has a better idea:


He cut off the bottom of a plastic juice (or soft drink) bottle. Then he punched some holes along one edge, so he could hold the plastic shield onto his shoe using the shoelace, just lacing the plastic onto his shoe, over his toe. Nifty, eh?
