A pair of Elvis Presley’s blue suede shoes are to go up for auction.

The American singer wore the size 10.5 footwear on and off stage in the 1950s, including during a performance on the Steve Allen TV show.

He acquired the pair after recording the hit Blue Suede Shoes, which was written by fellow singer Carl Perkins, for his debut album in 1956.

Presley later gave the shoes away the night before his induction into the US army in 1958.
