The shoes bud in the early Spring and they get harvested in the late Fall usually. Just before harvest time, the Dutch usually have a religous festival, where they dance around a shoe and pray to the great God, Nike. It's called the Dutch Shoe Dance.

It's true, it's true.....
He's right, I went to a Dutch college, and the Dutch Shoe Dance (normally referred to in the Dutch tongue, but I never bothered to learn it, other than adding "Vander" to my last name) is done on the 18th hour of the 2nd day of the tulip festival.
