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.

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.

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

Here is a photo of my clogs...
IMG_20161207_183259_Clogs.jpg
... 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.
