Other footwear up for sale comes from the likes of Nelly Furtado, Dame Shirley Bassey and Cherie Blair, to name but a few.
The charity approached celebrities to donate shoes to the auction and were amazed by the response, with 69 different pairs put forward for auction.
Organiser Zoe Corden told the BBC:
"We've been totally overwhelmed by the support we've had from celebrities who've given up their shoes to help those affected by conflict.
