The Duchess of Cambridge's shoe collection is the envy of many, that's for sure, but did you know she has a fashion trick when it comes to her shoes?

She buys her heels in two different sizes, a 38.5 and a 39 (or 5.5 and 6 in British sizes), reports the Telegraph. Kate undoubtedly does this for comfort reasons and it seems to vary depending on the brand, her Jimmy Choo 'Georgia' heels and her red 'Vamp' sandals are in a 38.5. She even goes down to a size 38 in Rupert Sanderson designs.

Meanwhile, Kate wears a size 39 in Bennett 'Agata' sandals, which feature a pointed toe and a bow detail at the ankle. It could be that the Duchess is opting to go for a size larger in her bold heels as she may be more likely to wear them in the warmer months, and no one wants their feet to swell during a royal engagement, right?

Kate isn't the only royal to be particular about her shoe size. The Duchess of Sussex is actually thought to wear her favorite heels a whole size too big - to avoid embarrassment. Take a close look at photos of Meghan at official events, and her shoes often appear too big for her, with a gap in the heel.
