James Bond’s footwear has always been a bit of an afterthought in the books. Ian Fleming’s original Bond wasn’t particularly concerned about his shoes, often opting for simple moccasins. In fact, in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Fleming even mentioned that Bond “hated shoe laces.”
However, things are a bit different on the big screen. Daniel Craig’s portrayal of Bond has seen the character evolve into a true connoisseur of fine footwear, often wearing shoes from high-end brands like Church, John Lobb, and Sanders & Sanders.
So, what shoes will accompany Bond in his final mission in No Time To Die, the 25th film in the franchise?
Crockett & Jones ‘Highbury’
Craig’s Bond is no stranger to Crockett & Jones. Over the past three films, Bond has sported these classic British shoes. The ‘Highbury’ is a sharp, 3-eyelet Derby that’s perfect for Bond’s tuxedo moments in Cuba or his stylish grey Prince of Wales check suit during his return to MI6 in London. Classic, sophisticated, and undeniably British - just like Bond.
Drake’s ‘Crosby’ Chukka Boots
For a more rugged yet refined look, Bond turns to Drake’s ‘Crosby’ Chukka Boots. These dark brown suede boots, with their signature moccasin-style stitching, perfectly balance practicality with elegance. Bond wears them while in Italy with Madeleine Swann, paired with a beige corduroy suit by Massimo Alba - an effortlessly cool look in the film’s opening scenes.
Danner ‘007 Tannicus’ Tactical Boots
No Time To Die doesn’t just feature Bond in his tuxedos and suits - he’s also ready for action. When infiltrating the villain’s lair, Bond opts for some heavy-duty black Danner boots to complete his tactical gear look. These boots, designed for high-intensity action, show up in the film in a major way. If you remember Danner from Spectre, these new boots are built for a more high-octane world-saving mission.
Crockett & Jones ‘Molton’ Boots
Crockett & Jones makes yet another appearance with the ‘Molton’ boots. These rugged, 3-eyelet chukka boots give Bond a more casual, laid-back look during one of his more intense escape scenes. With Bond being an active participant in choosing his wardrobe, these boots help him dash away from CIA agents while maintaining that stylish, practical edge.
From sleek Derby shoes to combat-ready tactical boots, Daniel Craig’s Bond proves that a good pair of shoes can take you through any situation - whether it’s dinner in Cuba, an escape from bad guys, or a high-stakes mission to save the world. If you’re looking to step into Bond’s shoes (quite literally), these options will have you ready for anything, from elegant soirées to action-packed chases.
