I have hand painted many a dutch shoe in my painting career. Some people collect the shoes and I have found many sizes.

When I was a little girl I can remember dreaming that I was Dutch and had wooden shoes. With 2 sisters and 4 brothers when I asked my mom to buy me some wooden shoes her reply was..wait till your brothers wear out a pair of shoes and ask them to add some wood.
