Happy Sinterklaas day!

I do, actually, but they are mostly ornamental - not comfortable for extended wear. Perfect for putting out on the doorstep in hopes of finding treats (and not coal) in them on December 6.

They have also been used on occasion by visitors who wanted a tour of the coop and run, but weren't wearing appropriate foot wear.

How do you like mine?

Lovely! I'll try to remember to take a photo of mine to post when I get home this evening. I don't think the design on mine is quite as detailed, but it's similar.

These belonged to hubby's foster parents, he used to wear them! Not sure why one is more weathered than the other lol

They look a lot like my Dad's. He wore his too.

Here is a photo of my clogs...

... and while I was uploading, this little ditty popped into my head:

"Sinterklaas, kapoentje
Gooi wat in mijn schoentje,
Breng wat in mijn laarsje,
Dank je Sinterklaasje."
... mediocre translation, courtesy of http://www.stnicholascenter.org/pages/s ... kapoentje/:
"Saint Nic'las, my dear one,
Something in my shoe put,
Something in my stocking,
Thank you, Saint Nich-o-las!"

All I have to say about it is that it loses A LOT in translation.
