    Proof positive that there is no crime in the Netherlands – there’s no way you chase criminals in these.

    What are you talking about? They can take off their shoes and chuck them fiercely at a criminal. They’re weapons in themselves! Didn’t you see that one Jackie Chan movie where he dispatches justice with a pair of clogs?

    Wouldn’t a cop in pursuit sound like a 2-legged horse? Or two empty halves of coconuts being banged together?

    (No swallow jokes, please!)

    They could have used these shoes in “Spamalot”!
