I bought Kate's Superga shoes from DSW. They have multiple colors in stock, I bought the grey color since white gets dirty too quickly in my opinion. I have to say they are the most comfortable shoes I own...I love them! If anyone is on the fence about whether to purchase those shoes I say buy them, you will not regret it.

Thank you for the input, that is really helpful for those of us still debating whether or not to get a pair. :)

This is one of my favorite sections of the site, simply because you've done a ton of research to provide people with budget conscious options to some of the classic styles worn by the Duchess. I hope you might find something similar to the Penelope Chilvers' boots Kate seems to wear often.

Do you have a replikate for her Tod's burgundy fringed pump. I'd love a pair with a perhaps slightly shorter heel height. Thank you! Laura
