The boots are made of vegetable-dyed leather, with a scalloped accent at the zip panel and a leather tassel on the zip pull. The silhouette is lined with a Goodyear Welted Commando rubber sole, perfect for walking on uneven terrain, and it is made by hand. Those hoping to imitate the duchess’ look can shop for the boots on Penelopechilvers.com, where they retail for 475 pounds ($617).
Royal watchers are likely familiar with the Chilvers boots because they have made many appearances in Kate’s wardrobe over the years. In fact, the buzzy footwear actually predates Kate’s time as a duchess since she’s owned them for 15 years.
“The Duchess of Cambridge has come to us for country boots, to be out in the weather, a walking boot essentially. The British do country with a certain studied look that follows the not-too-new unspoken rule,” Chilvers explained to FN in 2016. “Normally she would wear these boots for private times, I imagine, for walks in Norfolk and Scotland.”
In addition to Penelope Chilvers, more of Kate’s favorite footwear brands include Rupert Sanderson, Jimmy Choo and Gianvito Rossi.
