Bowie Boots Raise $2,600 For Give Landmines The Boot

Just wishing that I had just something you wore…

The boots that David Bowie donated to the Give Landmines The Boot campaign have sold on eBay for a record £1,320 GBP (Approx. $2,600 USD), .

In the end that’s more than twice the amount paid for Phil Collins‘ trainers, which were the next highest auction price at £641.98.

Indeed, for the money spent on the Bowie boots, you could have bought the combined footwear donated by Chris Martin of Coldplay (£510.00), Ringo Starr (£431.51), Brian May (£255.00) and Ricky Gervais (£88.50)…and still have enough left over for a really nice pair of brand new plimsolls! (£34.99)

The lucky winner of DB’s boots was in fact BowieNetter steveabs, who is already considering viewing sessions round his place when the boots arrive and who suggested today’s lyric quotation. Well done Steve.

All good fun and all for a good cause…what could be nicer?
