The Strokes, Four Tet, Chvrches, Beyoncé, De La Soul, More Donate Their Shoes to Charity

Small Steps Project is a UK charity that benefits children who live on landfills by aiming to provide immediate aid as well as long-term, transitional help in getting communities out of poverty. One of their recurring charity programs is the annual Celebrity Shoes auction, in which notable figures autograph and donate their own shoes for the cause.

This year, musicians and bands such as the Strokes, Four Tet, Chvrches, Beyoncé, De La Soul, Metronomy, Debbie Harry, Bombay Bicycle Club, Art Garfunkel, and more have donated shoes. You can see the full list here.

The Converse you see above were all signed by the members of the Strokes. Four Tet donated a pair of Nike Air Max sneakers that he wore at this year's Glastonbury. Chvrches have donated three pairs, one for each member of the band. Beyoncé has donated a pair of stiletto boots by Stuart Weitzman.
