When it comes to Kate Middleton's royal style, it's pretty much a given by now that she can do no wrong. Even way back in 2011, the duchess may have been new to the royal scene, but she never wavered when choosing an outfit and its proper accessories. Because of her fashion expertise, she's quickly become known to have a few signature looks ... one of them being sporting a good pair of high wedges. As most of us know, Queen Elizabeth much prefers the ladies of the royal family to hear high heels or kitten heels, and it's said that the monarch doesn't exactly approve of wedge shoes. Buuuut, that hasn't stopped Kate from wearing them a few times over the years. 

When the Queen isn't present, Kate has a little bit more freedom to play around with her outfit, and that usually means that the duchess is going to show up in either wedges or some comfy sneakers. Although we love a good casual Kate look, we can't get enough when she breaks out her best pairs of wedges. The Duchess of Cambridge pretty much lives in high heels thanks to her hectic royal schedule, but every once in a while, she can wear heels without the foot ache afterward. We would definitely consider wedges to be one of Kate's many royal style hacks -- one that we actually have a chance of replicating!

Who wouldn't want to do footwear style just like Kate Middleton?

We know we certainly would. So, because we alway have to honor the queen of footwear, here are some of Kate Middleton's best pairs of wedges.

The New Mom Shoes

Gone are the days where we consider sneakers to be mom shoes. Kate is a beautiful mom of three, and we rarely see her rocking a pair of normal tennis shoes. She is having no trouble at all handling all of her royal mommy duties in these adorable heels.

Keeping It Simple

If there's one thing that we love about Kate Middleton, it's her ability to take a simple outfit to the next level. Her simple blush dress paired with equally subtle shoes is the perfect combination, and we're starting to wonder why the Queen says no to wedges.

Yes, we all remember this outfit from the time Kate decided to jump in heels, and even though we love looking at that picture of the duchess in mid-air, we have to appreciate the wedges when they were still on the ground.

On the Run

With such a hectic lifestyle, Kate always has to be ready to go at a moment's notice. Whether it's her kids causing mischief or some other royal emergency, this duchess has learned to be nimble on her feet ... even when wearing wedges.

There are very few people in this world who could handle wearing wedges and a sundress while traveling. The duchess doesn't really have much of a choice, but she sure does make climbing those jet stairs in heels look very easy.

There truly is nothing that the duchess can't do in a pair of heels, and we have to say that we think she can do even more when she's wearing a pair of adorable wedges. If Kate can kick a ball in high heels, she definitely can do even better with more solid footing!

Kate undoubtedly had some pre-wedding nerves, but she didn't let her footwear suffer for it! The soon-to-be duchess could have easily opted for some stable sneakers, but nope! She was rocking those shiny wedges like nobody's business.

There's no better style of footwear than a good pair of wedges for a beach vacation. Even though the Queen may not approve of them, Kate certainly knows when it's the perfect time to wear them. We're loving this whole island look!

Corporate Kate

Unlike her fellow duchess Meghan Markle, Kate isn't one to wear business-type outfits very often. However, every once in a while, she'll break out a good blazer, and there's no better shoes for a corporate ensemble than a good pair of wedges!

Unstoppable

If there's one word we would use to describe Kate in a pair of high wedges, it's unstoppable. Like any good Brit, she can play a good game of tennis, but we would be hard pressed to find another person who could do so in these adorable shoes.

Back in the Early Days

Way back during her early royal days, the duchess still favored the wedges style. Kate must have known that she had a long life of constantly wearing heels ahead of her, because she opted for wedges as often as she could.

Kate Middleton is tall enough on her own, but just look at how high those wedges are! The duchess was having to really bend down to talk to the adorable kiddies who came out to see her.

Sometimes we needs to give a little more attention to Kate's adorable pre-wedding style. She was much more laid back than the way she has to dress now, but one thing that hasn't changed is her love for a good pair of wedges!

Strappy Wedges

Wearing wedges isn't just for sundresses! Kate can make it work with a pair of skinny pants and a blazer, too -- and she looks stylish in the process. Who says traditional pumps are necessary? Wedges still look professional and cute.

The Wedges That Match Everything

Even a pretty floral dress paired well with Kate's nude wedges. The benefit? These will go with anything. And honestly, anyone who's tried walking in grass in heels already knows that wedges are far superior for that particular activity. Who wants to sink in?!
