Linkin Park design charity boots

The 'In the End' hitmakers teamed up with bosses at footwear company Sebago to create the 250 pounds black utilitarian boot, reported Contactmusic.

A portion of the proceeds will go towards their Music For Relief charity's Hurricane Sandy fund, to assist the residents re-building their lives following the devastating storm.

"People who buy the shoe, not only will they be getting a great piece of footwear, but they also will be helping out some people in need," said singer Mike Shinoda.

Speaking about the design process, bandmate Joe Hahn added, "We had about five different ideas that we fleshed out and this one is the best. We wanted to take a simple utilitarian approach to what someone that travels with the group would wear, meaning our road crew.

"One pair of shoes that they can wear the rest of their lives. They can trek through the mud or any kind of terrain and then they can go out at night and still look nice." PTI NDS New Delhi, Jan 30 (
