Finally, think about your clown make up. Remember that purpose of clown make up is to amplify your own natural features. Do not overdo your make up -- remember, less is more. You want to entertain children, not frighten them.

There are some points you must consider when buying western dance boot. Check this out!

- Pick one with soft genuine garment leather uppers.

- Make sure there is non-marring split leather outsoles.

- Choose which one you prefer for shank. There are two styles for boot that suit individual needs; steel shank for support and no shank for flexibility. All is up to you to decide.

- Don’t forget with insole. It must be supportive and have enough cushions to be comfortable.

- Find out if counter is okay. As with any shoe or boot, counter should be solid and built straight on heel.

- Remember you are going to dance, so don’t use very high heels boot. It’s important to have hollow heels to reduce weight. Both men's and women's heels are typically 11/2 ".

- Other that is also important before you buy your boot is to try it on. Make sure counter should be snug, longitudinal and metatarsal arches should feel supportive, and there should be room for toe movement. The boot may be snug at first. Ask your salesperson how much boots will stretch.

Well, that surely helps you before buying your own western dance boots, right? You can find western dance boots at local retailers and online stores which offer discounts or less expensive prices for your western dance boots.
