Duchess Sophie loves espadrilles and you can save £28 at Amazon | Royal | News

The recent spell of summer heat has many of us rethinking our summer wardrobes, and if you’re on the hunt for footwear that’s both stylish and practical, Duchess Sophie’s latest choice deserves a closer look.

The royal, 61, was spotted in Surrey last month, embracing her signature laid-back country style. While her tailored linen blazer and pretty floral blouse were perfectly in keeping with her effortless aesthetic, it was her choice of footwear that really stood out. Better still, the royal-approved pair has now been reduced even further.

Sophie’s exact TOMS shoes typically retail for £75, but shoppers can currently snap them up on Amazon for just £46.53 as part of the retailer’s Prime Day sale, which runs until June 26. That’s a saving of more than £28 on the original price. Available in sizes 3 to 10, including half sizes, they’re a versatile summer staple – and with Prime delivery available, they could be on your doorstep as soon as tomorrow.

The misty-blue design strikes the perfect balance between a classic espadrille and a casual trainer. Featuring a woven rope platform sole, lightweight textile upper and easy slip-on silhouette, they deliver all the laid-back charm of a traditional espadrille with the comfort of an everyday flat.

It’s easy to see why they appealed to Sophie. The Duchess has long favoured practical footwear that still feels elegant, and these perfectly reflect that approach. Comfortable enough for a day spent walking around country estates, but polished enough to elevate a casual outfit, they’re a brilliant example of fashion meeting function.

Espadrilles remain one of the hardest-working shoes in any summer wardrobe. They offer the relaxed feel of a sandal, the support of a trainer and the timeless appeal of a holiday staple, all wrapped into one easy-to-wear design.

Customers were thrilled and left rave reviews. One shopper said, “The most comfortable shoes I have ever ever worn. I’m serious. I have a big shoe collection, and these are so pretty, comfortable and look amazing.” A second agreed, “Really comfy and gorgeous colour”

While another added, “I have the same in off-white but wanted a more robust colour, and these were a great price compared to Tom’s own website.”
