As someone who’s a big fan of boots, my shoe collection is distinctly lacking in comfy, wearable options and it won’t be long before these are what I really want to be wearing. There are so many spring/summer shoe trends emerging for 2026 already but Duchess Sophie is the latest royal to invest in a particular style that’s far more classic.
She stepped out in the Penelope Chilvers Gamine shoes in tan suede for a visit to the University of Surrey on 28th January and as soon as I saw them, I thought of Kate and Carole Middleton. The Princess of Wales and her mum have Emmy London Josie block heels and Carole’s pair is a very similar shade to Sophie’s shoes.
