On Valentine’s Day, the duoshowed off their lovewith a sweet throwback photo on Instagram featuring a simple caption: “❤️.” Beyond the hand-holding and Prince William’s romantic kiss on the cheek (which was a rare PDA moment!), the two were also sporting comfortable sneakers from two equally comfortable brands.

The Princess of Wales wore a pair of Veja sneakers, which arepractically glued to her feetat this point, while William wore New Balance sneakers — adad-approved brandthatJennifer Aniston,Mindy Kaling, andJennifer Lawrencelace-up in, too.

The photo is a screenshot from a previously posted video, but Kate’s been wearing Veja sneakers fora few years now, so rest assured, it wasn’t a one-time thing. Herexact paircosts $150, but these are the same style and an impressive $50 less right now. The shoes are extremely streamlined with a minimal look, and the soles have a slightly textured finish for decent traction.

On the other hand, the soles on these New Balance sneakers appear to be thicker than Kate’s shoes. So, if a little more padding is important for your achy feet, these look like they have an extra layer of cushioning. They’re also blue like William’s and come in men’s and women’s sizes, so you can match with your significant other, too.

This Amazon pair has a similar low-top design as Kate’s Vejas, is highly rated, and costs less than $30 to boot. They’re logo-free and all white, making them a timeless necessity for any shoe collection. “I’m a teacher and mom of two, so I’m constantly moving,”wrote one shopper. “I was worried about them getting uncomfortable and dirty quickly, but they are my daily go-to shoes now. They even survived a muddy Easter egg hunt with just some hot water and dish soap.”
