CR Bahamas return boots

SouthernBond

The boots Bond worn returning to the Bahama from Miami, and in the PTS bathroom fight. Where these tan suede or tan leather?
I think I've seen both talked about here but don't remember a definitive answer.

The fight in the PTS were suede boots (tan, I believe).



The Bahamas return are dark brown suede chukkas. Get some!




I've been interested in some black leather chukkas from the Skyfall photos, as well as this one from CR:

John Lobb Romsey in dark brown suede returning to Bahamas, black leather in M's apartment.

Thanks. The boots from the PTS and those he wore getting off the helo look lighter than the ones he wears with the linen suit.
I thought the PTS and return boots (worn with the Sunspel polo and 5 pocket khakis)were the same. To me, they looks more casual than the JLs, with one photo showing what look like crepe soles.

He wore brown suede shoes in the scenes from the plane to the hotel etc.

Think you might find those are JL brown suede BOOTS, too.

Watch the scene again, you can clearly see they are shoes.

Same as he wears in the evening in the poker scene when he takes Solange for a ride.

The brown suede shoes with the light grey suit are indeed shoes, though they lace up higher like chukka boots, hence why they look like chukkas from the front. John Lobb Ltd. (long unrelated to the John Lobb that provided some of the shoes for Casino Royale) calls the style Hilo shoes. Connery wore a very similar shoe with his hacking jacket in Goldfinger.

But they are not the same shoes as the evening scene. Those are shiny black.

Matt,

Any take on the footwear DC wears getting off the MD500 and meeting with M, with the Sunspel polo and khaki jean-style pants? Chukka or desert boots, tan leather or suede? They don't look like the other Lobb boots to me.

Any ideas / answers are much appreciated.
