STUART WEITZMAN Summer suede wedge sandals. See my previous post about the difference between the Hobbs Myra wedges and the R&B Corkswoons here. STUART WEITZMAN 5050 Lift leather and stretch over-the-knee boots.
The original versions are here from Russell & Bromley, although they always sell out after an appearance! Sainbury’s don’t do mail order but you can find the details, including the item number, here. For the price you probably won’t be surprised to hear that the suede doesn’t feel as nice, and the shoe itself isn’t as comfortable – although the heel and platform are both lower! After a minimum of cheerful chitchat, it got serious. My verdict: the Tu wedges are a decent replicate at £18, although the colour is not really a match for the dark navy of the originals and therefore doesn’t blend that well with dark jeans – which is the way Kate usually wears hers. that still looked amazing five years after she'd bought them at Stuart Weitzman in New York. I thought it was funny to note that 1) these were the only pair left after the Duchess’s appearance with the similar pair the other day, and 2) that they were positioned right next to some Sledge lookalikes! (Just an FYI, Sainsbury’s is the lighter blue of the two!) I happened to drop into Sainsbury’s yesterday wearing the originals, so I present a quick side by side comparison in the interests of retail science! This year, grocery chain Sainsbury’s is in on the trend, producing a pair of blue suede cork wedges for £18 for their clothing line Tu. However, there are also plenty of high street replicas – such as the pairs from Next and Hobbs last year. Most frequently seen during the 2013 Summer Olympics in London, these wedges are by American designer Stuart Weitzman and available at Russell & Bromley in the UK. Kate Middleton’s most iconic pair of smart casual shoes are probably her blue suede wedges. Leann Hunley & Thaao Penghlis (Christine Fix.
