Kate's no stranger to getting sporty, but she surprised us all when she stepped out in a pair of Nike sneakers to play tennis with some kids at a London school in 2018.

The duchess chose a pair of Nike Air VaporMax Flyknit sneakers with bubble soles. They were a far cry from her usual more subtle styles.

The shoes, in black suede, feature a cute bow detail on the back.

For a trip to Northern Ireland in 2019, Meghan sported a pair of luxe Jimmy Choo pumps in a bold orange-brown velvet.

Meghan's shoes are the Romy 100 pump, in a special colorway called Oxid that featured in the Cruise '18 collection.

What do you wear to a work meeting when you're almost six months pregnant? A pair of cow print high heels with PVC inserts, of course. Meghan definitely didn't let baby Sussex cramp her style when she wore these shoes for a trip to the charity SmartWorks.

Meghan's unusual printed heels have been in her closet for a few years, as canny fans recognized them from a "shelfie" posted to her now-defunct instagram account.

At the royal premiere of Spectre back in 2015, Kate teamed her Jenny Packham dress with a pair of sandals by Jimmy Choo.

Kate's metallic strappy Vamp sandals have a mock-croc texture, a platform sole, and a stiletto heel.

Another day, another gorgeous pair of Aquazzura pumps for the Duchess of Sussex! Meghan teamed a ruffled Jason Wu dress with a pair of blue slingbacks for a concert in London.

Beatrice is never afraid to experiment with her footwear, and in 2016, she sported a pair of calf-length boots with silver buttons.

Beatrice's boots featured silver buttons and fasteners all up the leg, with a chunky block heel.

Also in 2016, Beatrice topped a lace Milly dress with a pair of lace-up mesh panel stilettos.

Though they weren't identified at the time, it's possible Beatrice's statement shoes are from everyone's favorite fast fashion retailer Zara.

Kate took a page out of her sister-in-law's book when she opted to wear a pair of lace-up ankle boots for a number of royal engagements in early 2019. The duchess usually chooses suede pumps or knee-high boots when wearing dresses, but these cute ankle boots gave the look a more modern feel.

Kate's boots are the Marisa style from one of the duchess's favorite labels, LK Bennett. Unsurprisingly, the style has sold out since it got the royal seal of approval.

Princess Eugenie has got a ton of wear out of her black booties, which feature high sides and a deep split on the vamp.

The modern style is worlds away from the classic pumps worn by most of the royal family, which just makes us love them even more.
