Default Kevin Cozens Charity Walk & Poll

Meet Kevin:
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shoeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/kevin-cozen.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9666" title="kevin-cozen" src="http://www.shoeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/kevin-cozen.jpeg" alt="" width="250" height="333" />
</a>

This is Kevin Cozens (<a href="http://www.shoeblog.com/forums/general-discussion/10265-why-i-wear-high-heels.html" target="_blank">KrazyKev in our forums</a>). In this photo, he is wearing a pair of <em>Pleaser XTC 826 </em>platform heels:

Why?

In his own words:

<!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message -->
<blockquote>
<div id="post_message_17433"><span style="color: #000080;">HI my name is Kevin AKA. KRAZY KEV. I thought I would let you all know a little about me and my liking for high heels. First let me put you straight on a few things.
1.)Â* Yes, im a bit krazy
2.)Â* Yes I have walked in public wearing womens high heels.
3.)Â* No I dont have a fetish for high heels unless worn by a sexy woman.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000080;">The reason I started to wear high heels is for a very good one. I was looking for a way to raise money for a UK charity called <a href="http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/index.html" target="_blank">HELP FOR HEROES</a>. I was after a way to emulate pain suffered by soldiers who have been injured while serving in Iraq and Afganistan. In the end I had the bright idea of a long walk but wearing very high heeled womens shoes. On 22 Aug 2009 my day had finally come. I was going to be wearing womens shoes in public for the very first time. I had never worn high heels in my life and I was about to attempt to walk a very long 5 miles in a pair of PLEASER XTC 826. The heels were 7.5'' with a 4'' platform. <a href="http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/weirdwales/Kevin-walks-tall-feat-endurance/article-1005743-detail/article.html" target="_blank">I had already made the event known to the public</a> and i had already raised a lot of money. I now ask myself could I go the distance without doing myself harm. After 3.5hrs I finally arrived at my destination. I have to admit that a man wearing huge womens heels are a sure fire way of getting attention. Before the walk I promised my wife that if I complete the walk that I would DOUBLE the distance to raise money for her chosen charity which is <a href="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/" target="_blank"><em>Cancer Reasearch UK</em></a>.</span></div></blockquote>
According to his original <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/kevincozensinheels/" target="_blank">website, £723.00 was raised toward his chosen charity.
</a>

Now he needs our help to determine which shoes he should wear when keeping that promise to his wife - and perform a second, much longer, charity walk (tentatively set for Spring 2010).

Here are the shoes that Kevin is considering for this fund-raising event:
