If you want to be happy with your purchase you will stay away from the vinyl shoes. I know Willace wore out a pair or two in no time. We sell them at Fun F/X ($20-$25) They generally are not comfortable (guys feet are usually too large to wear an additional shoe inside) and because they are loose on your feet you will want to tie them nice and tight. however the vinyl is so cheap that the eyelets will tear out. Buy the Clown Mart ones or another leather shoe. I have two pair of clown shoes the first made by Wayne Scott and the second by Allen his son. Each pair was around $325. I wore the first pair for 6 or 7 years before needing to get them resoled, and that was not a problem with the sole but with the heal and the tip of the toe. I had the cobbler add the Vibram sole to the bottom of the leather and they will last me another 10 to 15 years before I need to resole them again. The second set is a different style (the first being a blue and yellow check) they are a black and white wingtip for when Fitzy is going out on the town.
