We Dutch have our own Santa who comes end November. He places gifts in the children's shoes which they have put besides the radiator or fireplace.
If we give each other gifts during Christmas we put them under the Christmas tree.
Boots, Dutch shoes, both footwear.
clogs
The Dutch word for stockings is kousen. It's pronounced as cowsun.
They put out their shoes. I think I remember reading that Dutch children put out wooden shoes with hay in them for the reindeer!

Nothing at all! Santa Claus does not come to Dutch children, so they don´t need the stocking. They get presents on December 5th from a Santa-lookalike called Sinterklaas and he puts presents in shoes
Dutch children would hang their shoes by the fireside before stockings. They believed that Sinterklaas (their version of Santa Claus) would fill them with gifts and treats on the eve of St. Nicholas Day.
They use regular Christmas Stockings. The same as Americans.
