This year the NFL is allowing players across the league to take part in a #MyCauseMyCleats campaign that allows them to support their own individual causes and/or charities by wearing custom designed cleats (shoes) during the games, rather than just before kickoff.
Several Dallas Cowboys players took part in the campaign and now those shoes are in high demand.
People can go to the NFL website and bid on the cleats.
Ezekiel Elliott's cleats that he wore for the December 1st Vikings game are now up to over $3,500! According to the auction website, and 100% of the proceeds from Zeke's cleats will benefit shelter animals and animals in need.
Jason Witten's game-worn cleats will benefit Witten's Score Foundation to help stop domestic violence. The bid is currently over $1,000.
Cowboys LB Sean Lee is donating the proceeds from his cleats to youth programming in the Metroplex.
Brandon Carr's cleats, also worn during the Cowboys win over the Vikings, will help to raise awareness in improving child literacy.
Several more cleats, from players across the NFL, are up for auction on the NFL Auction website.
