This has to do with a Dutch tradition. They leave shoes by the fireplace, so that Sinterklaas will fill it with presents and/or candy. This is done in the period until the fifth of december, which is called Pakjesavond (Evening of presents). That night, Sinterklaas and his 'Zwarte Pieten' deliver gifts to all children that have been good in the past year.
