I think she wanted to wear heels but she could not be wearing heels when planting tree - the pointed heels will damage the grass. So the wedge is a great substitute.

She did look good in the dress.
I really like the wrap dress, but hate the wedges. I know she likes her heels, but she should have changed into flats when up on the mountain.
I remember she used to wear some really cute ballet flats when she and William were dating. I wish she would start wearing them again, because some engagements really require a lower heel/flats.
I really like her wedges. They remind me of the ones I wore to work in the 1950's. Our heels were 4 inches tall and I found the wedges more stable.
I'm another who loves those wedges!
I don't have the greatest sense of balance, I'd turn an ankle in high heels, but wedges add much more stability. I don't get why so many are down on them!
Yes, Roslyn, white shoes would have really matched the yellow dress well. While I didn't like the white inserts, I think white shoes would have coordinated well and completed the look of the outfit. Those nude shoes need a long rest!
I have to agree with you, Soapstar. No matter how comfortable you are in high heels or sky-high wedges, I wouldn't want to test that theory or my safety wearing those skyscrapers on a cliff. That's not appropriate footwear in uneven terrain or on steep heights. Didn't she stumble on those same wedges at the vineyard? A mishap can always occur, even for someone accustomed to and confident in wearing a higher heel. A flat shoe or her boat shoes would have been better for a quick change to the visit on that site; we'd have forgiven Kate for sacrificing style for safety.
But as I said in my previous post, those wedges did suit the look of her wrap dress... on more solid ground.
Yes, that's the beauty of this forum, that people have different opinions! I like today's white dress but not the sandals, I find them very ugly. Another choice of shoe would have looked much better with this dress

I personally dont mind wedges, I wear the spanish Alpargatas (wedge style) through the whole summer as I find them very comfortable. It's just that they don't go with all outfits and Kate wears them, imo, when they are not suitable.
it looks ridiculous to run through the sand with wegdes
