On the 13th of May 2012, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) attended the Audi Polo Challenge at Coworth Park Polo Club in Ascot. She watched on as husband William and brother-in-law Harry played in a charity polo match.
On this day, she wore the Stuart Weitzman ‘Minx’ espadrille wedges for the first time. Here’s a picture of her wearing the wedges at that event:

Where to buy Stuart Weitzman Minx Wedges:
If you’d like to copy Kate’s style, the Stuart Weitzman Minx wedges can be purchased from eBay (there’s a mix of new and preloved listings).
Where Kate wore the wedges:
In addition to the polo match pictured above, Kate wore the Minx wedge three times during the Jubilee Tour in 2012 and twice during the Australia and New Zealand Tour in 2014.
Kate Middleton wearing Stuart Weitzman:
The Duchess often wears Stuart Weitzman shoes, we think she purchases them from Russell and Bromley in London. (They appear to be one of the only stockists in the UK and we’ve seen photographs of her shopping in the store!)
We know that she owns Stuart Weitzman’s Corkswoon wedges, the Zipkin boots, the “Raz” clutch (which is known as “Muse” in the UK) and the Power pumps.
