Giuseppe Zanotti created a black satin sandal with large sapphire centrepiece and surrounding diamonds, on a metal-tipped stiletto
"I wanted her shoes to match the classic and sophisticated elements of her ring, but with a younger, modern edge. Jewellery for the feet is my DNA, so designing for a princess comes very naturally."

Georgina Goodman came up with an antique Welsh lace pump with Scottish seed pearls and pearl-inspired heel
"I wanted to create something special with an intrinsic emotional value; something old and at the same time mirroring Kate's fresh modernity. ... I have aimed for a balance between history and femininity fitting the occasion; a kind of luxury recycling."

René Caovilla’s design of a white satin sandal with marabou feathers and multicolour Swarovski crystal gems is a real eye catcher.
“This shoe is fit for a princess because the sandal is elegant, sexy and precious, and it suggests a magical atmosphere.”

Cesare Casadei has created a single-soled silk pump with jewelled straps and embroidered floral details“Kate reminds me of a 2011 Audrey Hepburn. ... This elegant design is customized with embroidery and multi shaped clear crystals, to create a waterfall of stones dancing down the foot. I can see Kate dancing all night in this ‘new tango’ heel.”

I have to say that Georgina Goodman’s design is my absolute favourite of the lot, although all of the designs are gorgeous. I do wonder how easy it would be to walk down the aisle at Westminster Cathedral in them! Whatever the future Queen Katherine chooses to wear on April 29^th, you can rest assured there will be a

 flurry of look a likes so that even the budget conscious

bride can have wedding shoes fit for a princess.
