I'm thinking Oakwood might be the answer vs. Taupe which was previously thought, but was wondering if anyone else could opine (esp. Mantis given you've got the actual Zara pair).

Thanks!
To be honest I might go the Clarks route - when over in the UK last Nov, I checked out the Zara desert boots and thought the quality was appalling (of course just my opinion but they didn't seem built to last long by the quality of them, though of course Zara is not a reputable shoe maker!)

I have to say I thought the Zara boots look very cheap too but when I actually got my enjoying death boots I have been wearing them all the time as they are mega comfortable

Okay so since the topic of exact color has come up ive been curious as to which is actually correct. In some photos the boots look dark brown like the QOS pair and in some they look taupe (ie the set photos with the range rover). But The Mantis is usually pretty accurate with these things so which of my shoes are closest:
I think your covered bud, you got four pairs. your good for boots. unless your going to be DC stunt double on a new beach scene they filming. Stick a any pair you think looks good with a pair of jeans, a good shirt, a leather jacket (even a menlo) and go find the greek chick from the cabin to take somewhere on holiday.

Haha well while i dont mind the random ladies, im just curious as to which one is accurate not only for my piece of mind, but for others as well. The dark brown ones are old clarks from 08 and im debating getting a new pair. The taupe clarks in the back i bought a few months ago thinking they were right. The darker tan ones i bought in 07 as well ...yada yada yada but all in all im wondering which color is used with skyfall lol.
you sure Dave? they seem awfully darker in the Bond on set photos, plus I just watched the whole segment again, they look the colour of the jacket and darker than the trousers which are a light sand/camel colour.
This is a picture that I've sent to one of the buyers. These are the ones that I found, my thought about the colour - I don't know. As someone said - these are looking different in every screenshot, which is quite odd. But I'm trusting Dave in this one, he said it's the wrong colour.
i looked at the desert boots in Clarkes,the sales lady said
the soles were crepe , i thought they was ok myself
(thanks to Kenny Everet for that joke )
Mantis do you still have any contact with jenny?, that could settle this debate but for now im going to stick with the darkest color due to matching the jacket

Well than it seems that I found the good ones, the pictures are just with heavy light I guess?
Taupe Suede or Oakwood Suede?

Thanks!
I was going back and forth on this also.
FYI- Clarks are cheaper on Amazon. they are in the $70 to $80 range depending on color.
Look OK, made in China $AUD129

Will still search for the Zara's however it seems unlikely to pop up in my size
In this photo they still look brown/taupe
