Sir Paul McCartney’s boots which he wore at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony are set to sell for £15,000.

The Beatles legend had the size eight Cuban heels made for his On The Run tour the previous year.

Sir Paul sang Hey Jude as the last song of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 12 years ago.

The boots are a vegan version of the leather heeled boots worn by The Beatles in the 1960’s.

They are made of alter-mat – which is a vegan alternative to animal leather.

The funds will go towards the musician’s Meat-Free Monday campaign which he set up alongside his daughters Mary and Stella in 2009.

He is selling the boots to mark the campaign’s 15 year anniversary.

The listing reads: “Made for the On The Run World Tour, the pair of bespoke black boots produced by shoe-maker Steven Lowe of Crispinians, with design modifications from Paul.
