This is a contradiction in terms. Skilled clowns don't remove their shoes. Ever.
This is a fundamental tenet of clowning. Violating it is akin to sacrilege.

Personally I would rather remove this from entirely or make it apply to non clowns only to minimise shoe theft, this is like a RNG disarm shove that can be negated by not wearing iconic clown clothing.
This speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of clowns.
Clowns are supposed to be inept and ineffectual. Clown is hardmode. That's the point.
It's trivially easy to sidestep clown's weaknesses. Put on a breath mask, take mutadone, wear different shoes, etc.
The essence of clowning is the refusal to use these methods no matter the danger. You WILL walk through a breach without internals, you WILL trip and drop your sword, and you WILL poke your eye out on a banana.
