The snow problem

The real Dutch wooden shoes (klompen) are perfect to be put on when you go out to take the garbage or fetch the mail. In the winter they just have this one disadvantage. As I keep them indoors they are warm (no need for socks really!) and so they always gather some snow on the sole and when the snow is wet, you get a lot of snow there.

 

Outside you just feel taller, but imagine what would happen if someone stepped inside with such shoes and started climbing up the wooden painted stairs...
