Celebrities are secretly battling more than just addictions to drugs and alcohol
$4,175 Balenciaga Shoes and heel collections of over 5,000 pairs
Hugely oversized, custom built, walk in shoe closets containing thousands of shoes
Marathon shopping sprees purchasing hundreds of pairs of shoes
Some celebrities find themselves unable to stop at buying one or two pairs of shoes, frivolously spending their cash on hundreds of pairs of shoes in just a few days. These spendthrift A-listers will take extreme measures to satisfy their designer heel habit. In some cases, they impulsively purchase high end pumps that don’t even fit! At what point does a passion for shoes turn into an obsession? This is where the addictive side of their personality sets in, and that’s where things start to get out of control!
Housewife Desperate for Christian Louboutins
Take Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria for example; at a recent shoot for In Style magazine she gave us a rare glimpse into her closet and showed just how much she loves shopping for shoes and clothes! She mentions her Christian Louboutin espadrille wedges and the pain they cause her to wear despite the fact that her Uggs are much more comfortable! That’s dedication for you girls.

Is Over One Thousand Pairs Excessive?
Perhaps one of the most dramatic cases of a celebrity shoe addict is that of singing superstar Mariah Carey. A recent Celebrity Fashion Watch article glimpse into her closet revealed just how much she loves her shoes by showing us her wall to wall collection of various styles and designers. Now before we reveal the amount of shoes Mariah owns, let’s look at just how many of these were purchased out of necessity and how many pairs are just a case of frivolous overspending or addiction. It is perfectly acceptable to want to have various different shoes for different occasions and to compliment specific outfits but if we were to reveal to you that Mariah actually has over 1000 pairs of shoes on display in her massive walk in closet would you still think that is normal? I wonder when that point comes when she just begins buying them out of habit, seeing a pair of shoes and having to buy them rather than just wanting them?!

Fashionista Rating: 3 stars
SpendAholic Rating: 5 stars (She loves to flash the cash!)
