Our kids don't actually walk around without shoes all day. We have a tradition called 'sinterklaas', kind of familiar to Christmas. We celebrate the birthday of Saint Nicholas. The children put one of their shoes under the chimney or next to a door and sing a 'sinterklaas song' just before they go to bed. The 'servants' of Saint Nicholas will then put a present in the shoe while everybody's asleep. The servant in this case are the parents that also bought the presents.
