The Small Steps Project Celebrity Shoe Auction is back for it’s fifth year with some of the biggest celebrities in the world taking a small step for charity.
They have donated their signed shoes and are using their celebrity status to raise funds and awareness for Small Steps Project, a charity which helps children living on landfill sites. This year the auction has been divided into four categories – running every week throughout November.
The sport category of the auction is now live! The public are placing bids on shoes worn by some some of the most skillful and recognisable sporting heroes in the world. From footballers and cricketers, to the fastest man on the planet, some truly special pieces of sporting history are being auctioned.

I’m donating these shoes to raise much needed funds for the Small Steps Project”.
