DEF

Pièce de tissu doux, crêpe ou téflon, fixée en permanence ou attachée temporairement sous la semelle et le talon de l'une des chaussures de curling pour aider le curleur ou la curleuse à glisser sur la glace après avoir relâché la pierre en la lançant, ou au moment de balayer ou brosser la glace devant une pierre en mouvement.

OBS

Le pied dont la chaussure est équipée d'un glisseur est dit «pied de glissade», «pied de glisse» ou «pied avant», et peut être le pied droit ou le pied gauche d'un curleur ou d'une curleuse. Le glisseur peut être retenu par un élastique plutôt que d'être partie intégrante de la chaussure. Sous le pied antidérapant ou pied de poussée, on fixe ou attache une semelle antidérapante.
