BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Win Ben's shoes for a charity auction

So…..just in case some of you have a bunch of extra pocket money… Remember these??

Sellebrity Auctions is kind of a neat charity idea, where they take celebrity item donations and the auction proceeds go to charity. Yeah, it kinda feeds 'celebrity culture', but a creative way to raise funds for different causes that some of the celebrity's are involved in anyway (like Prince's Trust). Apparently they're doing a big shoe auction to tie into the 'Small Steps Project' for kids in poverty, and Ben (and Tom Hiddleston!) both donated:

Do they also smell of cinnamon??

What a beautiful idea to auction them off. I know a lot of people would kill for those!
