Kate Middleton has been setting the royal style standard for years, and that includes her well-shod toes. And while the Princess of Wales surely has a closet full of footwear options to choose from, there are certain styles and brands that we've seen her return to again and again. After all, no one pulls off a chic re-wear quite like Kate. From her sleek designer heels, her love of under-$100 sneakers, and the boots she's owned for more than a decade, here are some of the shoes that the princess has made part of her signature style.
Veja Sneakers
Shop Now Veja Esplar Sneakers, $150
Kate opted for one of her sporty essentials to visit the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust. It's far from the first time she's ever turned to the Esplars—she's worn them on numerous occasions over the years, including to a post-coronation Big Lunch, and a tree planting at the University of St Andrews in May 2021.
She's in good company with her love for Vejas—her sister-in-law Meghan Markle is also a longtime fan of the brand's V-10 sneakers.
