You know those furniture sliders? They are really cheap, circular plastic discs made for sliding furniture across carpet but they also slide like a dream on pavement, I recommend buying some at wal*mart or home depot or somewhere else to attach to your gloves, It is ridiculous that companies expect you to pay 50 bucks for some plastic attached to a glove, so its always good, and easy, to make your own!

those don't seem like they'd last that long, to be honest. i was looking at some, and the plastic seemed really thin

My friend made a pair of gloves with those furniture sliders, and they did work. They lasted for 3 solid hours, maybe. Go with cutting board or corian samples.

O dude i cant do that im afraid someone is gunan stop me nad be like HEY whats that in your pockets there, so i carry them out palms up and try to avoid eye contact with anyone haha
For attatching it I use velcro. Go to the local craft store and get heaviest industrial type velcro they have. It's perfect because you can re-use the gloves after the pucks wear down. I'd also reccomend using some guerilla glue to re-inforce the bond between the velcro and the glove.
