You might trySOme of the clown conventions too. I bought mine new on ebay from a company called champion attitude boots. I recally they were around a hundred and fifty. Most of the ytime the used ones go for around that same figure... And often they go higher! Here's a link. http://www.pimpinshoes.com/c=pklMxXklIhuHP2FrJU3MiQE3p/s=pimpinshoes.com/category/costumefootwear.clownshoes/ In fact they are now eighty bucks.... that's the story of my life... :roll: oh, weel. I've been very happy with mine. They can also resole them for about twenty -five dollars. Good Luck, And please, tell us about your Character! Scruffy bobbalouie 12-18-2005, 07:43 PM i decided to go white face. i tried auguste liked it ok but like the smartness of the WF. I decided to do a doctor Character clown. we do alot with kids and at the hospitial in lexington,ky so i thought this would be a good tie in. i use a lot of scrub pants and tops right now and a tye dyed lab coat but the wife is getting a new sewing machine for christmas so so ideas that are floating around will come to light. i am very intrested in competing someday so i am working towards that. i really love what we are doing and i belive that clowns really are Gods funny bone. saphireSue 12-19-2005, 03:13 PM Hi. I got my off Ebay too. count myself lucky they cost 100.00 but were custom and write color and size. For guys you can also try www.caboots.com, black and white would also play good with a doclor character. RedClownFred 12-21-2005, 10:55 AM WELCOME BOBBALOUIE! Keep following the path that feels right to you! God will help show you if stay open to all possibilities. I like the medical direction (oversized needle, thermometer, etc) you are looking into! I have never tried Ebay, but it sounds like some of our experts here on Clown Forum highly recommned it! It you decide to go "new", let us know. I know of a few good providers! Good luck, God Bless! Red Clown Fred TJ 12-22-2005, 12:42 AM Try: CABOOTS.COM (http://www.caboots.com/) I bought mine from them. They are good quality Klown shoes yet affordable. :mrgreen: From one Shriner Klown to another...WELCOME Scruffy 12-22-2005, 05:21 AM Just to clarify, mine are also caboots. Merry Christmas to all... Bunker 12-27-2005, 12:55 AM How very clever of you to get your wife a new sewing machine for Christmas. I hope she enjoys it. Bunker DuckTape 12-29-2005, 11:18 PM Im a new clown as well , a idea i have for clown shoes is at your local wal mart or whatever store you like going to, back in the shoe section they have rubber over shoes that your put your real shoes inside and they are protected from rain and mud and stuff , they also look like they would make excellant clown shoes because of the size and width , they are black rubber so you might have to paint them or do whatever to them , but the ones i saw only cost 12-13 $ for a XL pair , the XL makes it look like a actual clown shoes. hope it helps. Ruby 08-03-2008, 06:56 AM Because I have small feet to start off with, Converse Tennis Shoes (red), size 15 worked great for me. Got jewels and fabric glue from Wally World and made a great pair of shoes for Ruby. Even put some bells on the laces! Kids and adults too, love them. :D Scruffy 08-03-2008, 09:14 AM Loki, I am kinda thinking that's the case. I bought mine four years ago. TO be honest. If would go with the clown marts at this point. If they had been available when I got mine I would have. I like the brown tramp shoes that they have. I have seen the clownmarts up close and personal. I think they are best deal going for a good looking reasonably priced clown shoe. |
