Help this "strong man" find shoes!

This is not related in any way to MFP except for the fact that I actually fit into a costume I ordered online without knowing the size was 2 sizes smaller than I would have ordered, yay me!! (6 months ago it would have never fit, lol!) Anyway, I need help deciding what shoes to wear. Sounds crazy, but I'm going as the strong man, you know, like at the circus. Big, bulging muscles, afro wig, weight lifting belt, handlebar mustache, but I can't figure out the shoes. I think I'm gonna do white and black striped tights, but what type shoes would work? Any suggestions?

I'd go with boxer-type lace-ups (just google "boxer shoes" or Converse high tops.

chuck taylors.

every heavy lifter wears chucks.
you can get the knock off ones for 12 bucks at your local wal mart.

and you need one of the huge circus dumbbells, even if you make it outta cardboard
