Kate Middleton has proven time and time again that she is as close to superhuman as they come!

Wayne Gretzy has got nothing on Kate and her suede Aquatalia Rhumba boots. The mum-of-two let her hockey skills and fancy footwear do all the talking while playing a game at her alma mater St. Andrew's.

Shooting an arrow

The Duchess of Cambridge gave Katniss Everdeen a stylish run for her money while visiting Bhutan. The royal showed off her bow and arrow skills wearing a pair of nude heels.

Throwing a ball

She can casually throw a ball and surprisingly still maintain her balance on a field like she did during her trip to New Zealand in 2014.

Who needs sneakers when you have wedges! Kate proved she can hit balls just as easily as she can throw them while playing cricket in Mumbai.

Spiking a volleyball

Spike it! If anything, Kate's wedges helped her reach even higher during a game of volleyball at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2013.

If there is a class that teaches how to gracefully stroll across a polo field in stiletto heels (like the Duchess in Canada), while still looking effortlessly chic, please advise.

Literally hours after welcoming Princess Charlotte in 2015, the royal emerged from the Lindo Wing wearing heels — not slippers — to introduce her daughter to members of the global media in flawless style.

Feeding an elephant

Feeding time calls for footwear other than flats and sneakers. The stylish royal elected to wear wedges during a visit to India's Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation at Kaziranga National Park.

Gardening

The Duchess of Cambridge has even gotten her hands dirty (but not her feet!) planting trees in heels.

Dropping a puck
