Tod’s Fringed Leather Pumps

In September 2016, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) visited Yukon in north-west Canada.  The Duchess debuted a new pair of shoes, the Tod’s Fringed Leather Pumps in burgundy.

Kate’s worn the shoes on several occasions since.  She recently wore them to a charity briefing in London –

And during a visit to Paris in March 2017.

About the Tod’s Fringed Leather Pumps:

The burgundy coloured shoes feature a chunky block heel, fringe detailing and a gold buckle.  Some websites describe the shoe as being “loafer style”.

The official colour name is Eggplant/Cherry.  Here’s a closer look at the fringe detailing on the front of the shoe:

Here’s how Net-A-Porter describes the burgundy heels:

Ideal for both the office and off-duty days, Tod’s’ versatile burgundy pumps have a sturdy block heel and cushioned footbed for round-the-clock comfort. This Italian-made pair is finished with an elegant gold buckle and the brand’s signature pebbled sole. Team yours with culottes or a skirt.

Sadly, this particular shoe is from Tod’s 2015 collection and the brand no longer sells the exact style.

However, Tod’s do sell a number of similar block-heeled loafer style shoes in various shades of burgundy, brown and black.  Perfect if you’d like to copy Kate Middleton’s style:
