The shoes you purchase are an investment in your comfort and appearance. High quality clown shoes, if properly cared for, will serve as a complement to your wardrobe for years to come. To best protect your clown shoes, we recommend the following:
A protective spray is an excellent way to protect your shoes from water, snow, mud, and spills. The best way to protect your clown shoes is to wipe the leather of your new shoes, following the instructions on the protector spray, spray your shoes before wearing, and on a regular basis thereafter.
If you plan to use your shoes frequently, you may want to consider a trip to the shoe repair shop. It's a smart idea to have shoe taps and possibly rubber soles put on new clown shoes as a way to postpone the gradual wearing out process that comes with normal use. A small investment now may mean many more years of enjoyment of your clown shows.
Finally, we highly recommend cleaning your shoes on a regular basis,
depending on frequency of use. The cleaning method depends on the shoe's
material. Leather can be polished and conditioned with a leather lotion applied
with a soft cloth.
In addition, shoes benefit greatly from shoe trees. These are wooden instruments
which are inserted in the shoe, and help to retain the shape and mold
of the shoe. Shoe trees can help to prolong the life of a clown shoe by 4
or 5 years.
