Kate Middleton added yet another brand into her footwear rotation this week and it comes with a price tag that won’t break the bank.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge continued their tour across Scotland on Wednesday, stopping by the Kingdom of Fife to meet with local fishermen and their families. As they spoke to members of the fishing community, Middleton went for a sailor-inspired ensemble in a striped Erdem sweater and a gold-buckled blazer from Holland Cooper. Her outfit also included coordinating trousers and Freya Rose jewelry.

The real kicker of her ensemble came in the form of her low-top sneakers. Taking a page out of Meghan Markle’s style book, the Duchess of Cambridge decided on rose gold Veja kicks for the casual outing. The sleek Esplar silhouette highlights smooth leather uppers with a contrasting metallic logo across the sides, all lined in breathable organic cotton. The name of the silhouette actually pays tribute to an ethical organization that supports families in Brazil that help farm materials for the label.

Similar colorways from the French brand retail for $120 to $130 at Bergdorf Goodman and Net-a-Porter.
