Two Sisters, Two Wardrobes, Two Shoe Obsessive's
Jordan and Charlie Male: two sister's who are obsessed with shoe's, here's their story
Ever since Charlie was given her kitten heel baby pink round toe shoes at the mere age of just 12, and Jordan frantically saved to purchased her very first pair of high heeled jellied flip flops, they both fell in love with shoes. “They were proper 90s shoes, I had to have high ones!” Jordan, now 21 says.
“I felt like I was from legally blonde, looking back they were not nice but I think that’s when I fell in love with being just a few inches taller!!’ states Charlie now 20.
Both girls are totally obsessed with everything to do with shoes. Between them they have well over 200 pairs of shoes and are both still collecting. The perfect scenario some might say to have so many shoes between them. But how could they possibly wear them all?
“I arrange my outfit around my shoes now so that they all get worn” says Charlie. You’d think there surely aren’t enough days in the year especially with the collection’s growing so rapidly! Charley will buy a pair every time she gets paid.
“That’s when my shoe bug kicks in, I’m currently online looking at summer wedges. I literally would love to buy shoes every week!” she states.
The aim for both of them is to have as high a heel as possible. Jordan states “anything that makes your legs look longer – the higher the better for me!”
It seems the fetish here is to be taller and give a false illusion which has been made sexy and desirable by the media.
It’s hard to say which sister is the most obsessed, but it’s a very close contest. Their passion clearly stems from their childhoods with both of their first pairs being high heels. Since then it has been an aspiration to develop their collections from the way they are stored and displayed to the various styles and designs.
In this month alone, Jordan has bought two pairs for herself and was given two pairs as gifts, “is that excessive?” she asks embarrassed.
However, obsessions do come at a price, and shoes aren’t exactly the cheapest of obsessions to have. Jordan’s most expensive pair of shoes are her Louis Vuitton boots, bought in a New York sale somewhere for around £250 but they were so worth it she tells me. Her others, ranging from £180 Jimmy Choo’s to £180 Carvella’s, are pretty large investments, but how long do they last? Or do they get replaced easily by the next pair? Her oldest pair are six years old. “When I was about 15 I saved up for a pair of leather boots, they were about £100. I still wear them now they haven’t dated at all!”
However, they both have one big quest; a pair of Christian Louboutin’s. Jordan bases her shoes around her outfits so she always buys the shoe first. For her graduation she is desperate for a pair of Louboutin’s so bought a plain black dress in the hope to achieve her goal. Charley is exactly them same. “I simply MUST have a patent round toe black pair. Lets see what my 21st brings!” she says.
Possibly the most wanted pair of shoes on the planet, by so many women, it is almost a goal to own a pair of these plain black, red sole shoes. The big question is, which sister will get to own their dream pair first?
