10-Clown Sporting Shoes

Clown Sporting Shoes

Little did I know that a well-known sporting

apparel company made clown shoes,

but there they were, on the person right in front of me,

multi colored ones with their logo proudly

displayed on the side. Maybe the rest of his

wardrobe didn’t indicate that he was

dressing up to be like a clown, but that didn’t matter,

those shoes gave him away. Shoes colored

in red, cornflower blue, and white, along with a

black heal that looked a little bit like

a rubber bumper that belonged on the front

of a bumper car from the amusement park,

something that didn’t match at all with the rest of the shoe,

and I had seen my share of clown shoes from my attendance

of various circuses over the years, and these definitely

fit that category, making his wardrobe unique,

but more than likely that was his intention,

as he proudly wore those shoes.
