Kate’s current go-to shoes are a world away from the elegant nude-hued stilettos she often chooses for official engagements, garden parties and dinners. The ones she can’t get enough of are Superga’s 2750 trainers – cool, classic and priced at a very affordable £49.99.
Kate wore the Superga plimsolls to Kensington Palace for a reception to support the Heads Together campaign
The Duchess wore the casual pumps for the black and white family portrait which appeared alongside Prince William’s interview for the July issue of GQ. She also sported them for a reception at Kensington Palace in April held in support of the runners taking part in the Heads Together mental health campaign for the London Marathon, pairing them with skinny jeans and a striped jumper.
The Superga sneakers are a fashion-forward yet comfy choice for Kate
A comfortable yet stylish choice, the 35-year-old opted to wear the Superga trainers for the royal tour of Canada in October 2016 and while visiting her sister, Pippa, at her London home ahead of her wedding.
The Kate effect is still very much in full swing - sales of the canvas kicks have doubled since the Duchess started wearing them and the low-key trainers are likely to continue to fly off the shelves. Back in 2010, the blue Issa wrap dress that she wore to announce her engagement to Prince William quickly became iconic - Issa items sold out in more than 43 countries around the world in the weeks that followed.
She wore her trusty Penelope Chilvers boots during the royal tour of India and Bhutan
Relaxed, sporty styles are very much on trend at the moment and it’s great to see Kate embracing this. The mother-of-two is no stranger to laid-back dressing and has been spotted out and about wearing a pair of flat ballet pumps from French Sole. Kate has also been seen wearing suede Mint Velvet plimsolls on a number of occasions and her brown Penelope Chilvers boots are a favourite of hers for outdoor pursuits.
