The Princess of Wales is partial to some stylish footwear, but when she isn’t sporting sandals, pumps or wedges, she has been known to favour a pair of white trainers by Superga. Kate has been spotted wearing the 2750 Cotu Classic Canvas Trainers multiple times including during a trip visiting the 1851 Trust and the Great Britain SailGP Team in 2022 and for her family Christmas card photograph in the same year.
Proving that Superga’s canvas trainers can work for all occasions, fashion fans are following suite and snapping up the style while they are discounted by half price on Amazon. Now £25 in sizes UK2.5-14.5, they are £40 cheaper at Amazon than they are at Marks and Spencer.
The versatile shoe has an extra strong, breathable upper cotton layer, as well as a rubber sole for a timeless and lightweight look. Wearers say their feet ‘have felt comfortable all day’ since donning the footwear ‘with little needed in the way of breaking-in’.
As the style is ‘not too bulky’ it can be worn dressed up with more formal outfits, as well as casually with shorts and a sweater like Kate Middleton has previously shown. Your feet shouldn’t feel sweaty or stuffy wearing the Superga trainers, one person described them as boasting ‘excellent breathability’ able to keep feet cool and dry throughout the day.
This shopper wasn’t the only one to rave about the trainers, in fact they have racked up more than 25,000 five star reviews on Amazon alone. Praising their comfortability, someone said: “I’m really surprised at the comfiness and durability of these shoes. I bought them for summer city sight seeing trips which requires lots of walking and heat exposure. To my suprise these shoes did not cause any blisters, nor were my feet aching despite walking miles in them over multiple days.”
This customer explained: “Amazing Superga pumps. These are my 6th pair but in a different colour. They do come larger so order a size down, I’m a 5 but always order a 4 and they fit me perfectly. Normally new pumps cause my feet blisters but this brand allows you to wear them comfortably straight from the box.”
The white colourway ‘looks amazing in summer’, however it has been pointed out that they may not be suitable for rainy weather as ‘the canvas fabric attracts dirt’. One shopper has solved this problem by stocking up on a pair for rainy days and a pair for sunny days. Or, you could opt for another colour – the black Superga trainers are on sale for £30.71.
New Balance is another shoewear brand worth considering if you are looking for comfortable and stylish footwear. The 997R Shoes are half price, costing £66 rather than £110, and shoppers say they ‘look amazing’ and are a ‘quality’ design.
