Let’s face it, we all secretly wish we could take a peek through Kate Middleton’s closet. Between the ballgowns and the iconic polka-dotted looks, it’s like a treasure trove of chicness. However, there’s one part of her looks that seems to be overlooked every time, and we can’t stand idly by anymore. We’re sorry, but her shoe taste is immaculate.

Now, it’d take us a decade to break down every single shoe the Princess of Wales has worn since becoming a royal in 2011, but that isn’t stopping us from talking about her most beloved pairs. (Any guesses which pair of shoes she’s worn to over 20 public events?!)
Kate knows how to perfectly compliment whatever look she chooses with the right pair of footwear. For formal events or high-profile royal events, she often goes for heels. During public events in colder months or nature-based events, she opts for boots. And casual events and outings, she’s all about her go-to pair of sneakers.
She often shakes up parts of her looks, but we’ve noticed she’s worn these 12 shoes more often than others (and more eagle-eyed fans noticed this too)!
From her under $70 favorite pair of sneakers to the nearly $3,000 pair of heels she wears to balls, we got the Princess of Wales’ favorite shoes here. Not only that, we know when she wore them out, how many times, and even where you can buy them!
In honor of her wearing one of her go-to shoes at the 2024 Trooping the Colour, check out Kate’s favorite shoes she’s worn in public below:
