Goldline Momentum Rush Curling Shoes | The Curling Store

[@shelleysmith5172]

I am a stick curler and I purchased these shoes. I put grippers on both shoes and I just love them.

[@CurlingStore]

Glad you like them!

Thanks for the review, Scott! I always love hearing your take on our new products!

[@CurlingStore]

Hey thanks Pete. The new shoe has been popular so far.

Just bought these with the 1/4" 11 slider. They are an extremely comfortable shoe to wear. I had my doubts about the "velcro" attachment, but they seem fine and I have not experienced any problems whatsoever. As a note, I had to size up a 1/2 size for a proper fit (11 > 11.5).

[@CurlingStore]

Thanks for the feedback Paul. So far the reviews I've had have been very positive. While I know some are nervous about the Velcro, I am a fan because it is very easy to change the gripper pods vs grinding and reglueing for a glue attached gripper. I tried to get the sliders off these new Goldline's and it is very difficult to pull them off with your hands. I think I agree with you on the sizing vs the Goldline Cyclone even though the upper looks identical. I think part of it is that the insole in these Rush shoes is thicker and that makes the shoe a little smaller. I must have sold 20-30 pairs by now and no issues. My only caution would be to avoid moving the curling rocks with the sides of your shoes as the fabric can be damaged as a result of doing that. Thanks!

​@@CurlingStoreI've found that an easy way to get sliders off velcro is using a thin plastic ruler and sliding it between the slider and velcro. It helps avoid any potential bending of the Teflon and I have not ever accidentally separated the velcro from the shoe with this method

Hi Scott, Just wanted to ask how does the stability of the Rush compare to the BP Deluxe? Thanks!

[@CurlingStore]

I think the stability is comparable. The Rush has a reinforced midsole that adds additional support in the middle that helps prevent twisting in the middle of the shoe. Some people like the Delux because it has a stiff midsole which can help prevent drifting. Not sure I would notice this but I have heard this feedback from competitive curlers. Both shoes have comparable 1/4" sliders so the speed would be similar. The fit and feel between the two shoes is totally different. The Rush is more like a sneaker and the Delux is a shoe with top grain leather inside and outside. Both are top of the line shoes.

Are the gripper/slider attachments symmetrical or unique to each foot? I’m part of the rare few as LH curler. Thanks!

[@CurlingStore]

The gripper/slider pods work on both sides so can be used by a RH or a LH curler

[@vuvuzela691]

When will we get a review of the momentum dash/dart/charge? I'm curious how they compare too the momentum rush

[@CurlingStore]

We are working on new videos for the upcoming season which will include the Momentum Dash/Dart/Charge shoes. The sole and slider on the shoes are the same as the Rush. The upper is a little different aesthetically and includes a lace cover. The main difference is the fit. The Dash shoes fit wider than the Rush in both men's and women's.

[@vuvuzela691]

​@@CurlingStoregood to know! Thanks for the reply! Also does the gen 2 rush have enough differences to warrant a new review?

[@CurlingStore]

@@vuvuzela691we will probably do an update for the gen 2 version. It’s mostly the same except for a little bit of a different trim. The heel cup is deeper vs the Gen 1 model which should reduce premature heel wear in the shoe
