Duchess Sophie Has a New Go-To Shoe, and It's a Sleeker Version of Princess Kate's Country-Girl Boots

Duchess Sophie stayed true to her go-to Penelope Chilvers espadrilles all summer long, but now that colder weather is in full swing, she's switched up her style to include a contender right off the autumn/winter 2025 runways.
