If you happen to be in New York City for Fashion Week next month or see footage from the event, you might think there's a model-boot cult across the city.

Turns out, forty top runway models will be wearing Nine West boots specially designed for Modelinia with a built-in pedometer for the Runway Relief project.

The models -- led by industry fave Coco Rocha -- will measure the number of steps taken as they strut the runway, book it from one show to the next, and walk the city and duke it out for the most number of paces.

Nine West will make a monetary donation for every step to the CFDA's Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.

Here's how you can get in on the action:

1. Sponsor a model.
Sign up on Modelinia to keep track of your girls and donate $1 for every ten steps.

2. Buy your own Nine West/Modelinia boots. Love the motorcycle boot look? You can get your own pair on Facebook later this month or at the company's Fifth Avenue, NYC, location in early September.

3. Enter the Survival Kit contest
. Check out Nine West on Aug. 31 and enter to win a complete Runway Relief Survival Kit, which includes a pair of boots, a Fashion Targets Breast Cancer tee, a canteen, and an army bag -- all shown on the models below.

  • Louis Vuitton's Fall 2011 Collection Paris Fashion Week Louis Vuitton's Fall 2011 Collection Paris Fashion Week Play For Louis Vuitton's Fall collection, master Marc Jacobs continued to channel a vintage vibe invoking the '40s and '50s with puff-sleeved Pan-collared French maid uniforms, mid-calf skirts, and cinched-waist silhouettes. His inventive use of fabrics - everything from rubber to plasticized lace - added serious intrigue, as did top models Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Amber Valletta, and Carolyn Murphy strutting the runway in conductor's hats and dominatrix boots.

Yet unlike the miniskirts of collection past, this season saw a noticeable drop in hemlines - only to the knee, not to worry you girls-about-town - and the occasional fluid skater skirt. The palette stayed in neutral territory with models turned out in white, black, and gold, while slouchy knee-high boots offered a slight tribal vibe. To see all the looks watch our coverage now!

Terry, either you are an anorexic and have complete body dysmorphia, or you're just a stupid insecure fool. Either way, you're completely out of line and off base with your comment. None of those girls has an ounce of fat on them, and all three are attractive. I'd like you to post your picture so that we can compare what your face and body look like next to theirs. Bet you lose, big time. That goes for you if you're a guy, too (can't tell by your name).

Terry, if you must say something mean and stupid, it is best to keep your comments to yourself.

I had a terrible time with dysmorphia until I met my mentor, Oprah Winfrey.
Now, the sky is blue, the birds sing, it's all joy - joy...
