Leaving wooden shoes, or sabots, outside is a Christmas tradition. In America, why do people hang up their stockings? Because it is a way of receiving small presents.
Some traditions say that Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas places small presents in the children's' shoes. Others say that its the Three Kings. But in all versions, kids leave their shoes out so they can wake up in the morning and find their shoes full of small gifts.

Children leave out wooden shoes before Christmas as part of a tradition in countries like the Netherlands and Belgium, where St. Nicholas (Sinterklaas) brings gifts to good children. The shoes are typically filled with carrots or hay for St. Nicholas's horse, along with a wish list or a small gift for the child. It is a way for children to participate in the excitement of the holiday season and to receive small treats from St. Nicholas.
