When you think of the Duchess of Cambridge and shoes, you're understandably more likely to come up with LK Bennett than Louboutin.

'I know that Victoria Beckham offered her a pair of my boots and she looked great in them,’ he told The Times.

‘She's been photographed wearing my boots. She looked fantastic.'
