If there's one person we never get tired of turning to for style inspiration, it's Kate Middleton. Whether we're shopping for summer wedding guest dresses (check out Kate's best wedding-ready looks here) or trying out her go-to pair of jeans, the Duchess of Cambridge is always top of mind for outfit inspiration.

This sentiment, of course, extends to her shoe collection, of which the mother-of-three is known to rock surprisingly affordable styles. In fact, one of Kate Middleton's favourite pairs of shoes, the Superga 2750 Cotu Classic Sneakers, only cost $65 USD/$75 CAD (shop here in Canada, here in the U.S.).

Fans of the well-dressed royal first spotted the white Supergas in 2016 when the Duchess of Cambridge wore them in Victoria, B.C. Since their Canadian debut, Kate has been photographed in the $75 sneakers on several occasions, most recently during her royal tour of the Caribbean in March 2022.

The Duchess isn’t the only fan of these stylish and comfortable shoes. The Superga Cotu sneakers have more than 1,100 ratings on Nordstrom and an average rating of 4.3 stars.
