Legal eagles from Leeds have helped raise nearly £2,000 after teetering about town in high heels along with Girls Aloud's Kimberley Walsh.
A 10-strong team from Winston Solicitors LLP took to the streets of the city centre as part of the UK's first ever 'high heel-a-thon', headed up by the Girls Aloud star.
Kimberley is the ambassador for charity Breast Cancer Haven which organised the event last month.
The solicitors' team, which included a representative from each of the firm's departments, helped raise nearly £2,000.
Everyone who took part, including the men, wore high heels to raise cash for women and men affected by breast cancer.
Jonathan Winston, a partner at Winston Solicitors, said "Walking around in high-heels (including the men) seemed a great way to raise money and support Breast Cancer Haven. We are proud of our team and would like to thank everyone who made a donation to the charity."
A total of 200 took part in the event which has so far raised £8,500.
