Question: What is the difference between sliding soles and braking heels?

A: Sliding soles go on your lead foot (left for right handers) and control how far and smoothly you glide on the final step. Braking heels go on your trail foot and provide stopping power to help you finish in balance without drifting or jerking. You mix and match them to create the ideal slide to stop ratio for your style and conditions.
