Daniel Craig Boots

Rossco

Hi, does anyone know which boots in the photo Daniel is wearing, they look like C&J Skye 2 as they have dainite soles but skye 2 have no metal eaglets and his do. i don't think they are Islay C&G as the leather texture looks smooth in the photos of DC wearing those boots?

I've seen a lot of pics of him wearing these boots, and I think they are Islays in a different leather option, maybe from a few years ago, or maybe custom made? I am starting to think these are the actual boot leather that was worn in Skyfall.

you think they could be the Islays? could be that the photo doesn't show up the leather grain?

If you go to the Just Jared site and search Daniel Craig, you can see a lot of pictures of him wearing them and it doesn't look like there is any grain at all.

He wore the Skye (not Skye 2) for many years

I'm, sure they are C&J's, just don't know which model

They are the islays but extremely worn in, probably off the set of skyfall

Rossco

Thanks for your help. The boots definitely look good the more worn in they get

Out of curiosity, how old is that pic? He looks healthier and more like Bond there than he did in SF.

Since he's with Rachel Weiz and if you look closesly she's wearing a wedding band, this would have to be 2011 or later. Since he's wearing the C&J Islay's and they look rather worn in, I'd say this is long after filming those scenes for Skyfall. I noticed he began wearing wayfarer sunglasses in early 2013 at the Golden Globes, maybe I'm wrong on that exact timing, but if you pressed me I'd say this is early 2013 as they're wearing winter-ish clothing.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by healthier-looking, he's just clean-shaven. I know he looked haggard through most of Skyfall but remember that was intentional as the character was going through a rough period of fall and recovery.

Hey, thanks, JMac88. By healthier, I meant his complexion looks more even, skin looks smoother, and there' looks like less loose skin. Basically, he looks like he's gotten a good night's rest. His hair is grown in properly, too, and looks much better than the crewcut.
