My Experience with the Crockett & Jones Skye 3 Boot as worn by Daniel Craig ( James Bond )

[@MartinAshfield-k1q]

I have the same pair, great boots, very rugged 👌🏻

These are absolutely stunning boots. I just purchased a pair C&J Islay and I adore them. In my opinion, C&J make superior quality shoes than just about any maker in its price point. Appreciate the video.

D.J. Middleton thanks a bunch for the comment! The Islay boots are super cool! I had to choose between them and these Skye boots. Still not sure if it was the right choice ;)

[@HarryFlashman.]

A bit like the Pembroke but in a boot - sort of. What is it about discontinued shoes? We all seem to want them! I've just managed to get hold of a pair of discontinued C&J Durham. Searched everywhere and managed to get a pair from Madrid (of all places) - discounted as well. Enjoyed the tutorial👍

[@brucevodka]

Thank you.

There is the small family-run shoe business "Bodileys of Northampton" in the UK which sell the "Skye 3" boot basically just under a different name. It is called the "Highland" in their "Mayfair" collection and is produced by Crockett & Jones to be quasi identical to the discontinued Skye 3. I have ordered the boots myself and am very pleased with them so far.

[@cooch555]

Just checked them out. They do look identical! Thanks for pointing out the website.

Although I personally favour Tricker's when it comes to brogue boots, I must say these are stunning looking boots, great taste! Thanks for sharing.

[@cooch555]

Thank you for the kind words :)

Nice boots wanted to get a pair of crocket and jones coniston but opted for a pair of Carlos Santos field boots

[@cooch555]

Nice! Are you happy with them?

[@DrawnInk1]

I own a pair of these, I love them to bits.

[@DrawnInk1]

@Sky_Fall I only know the UK sizes and are good for that. I’d air on the side of caution as they narrow at the front. But people always comment on them in a positive way.

[@007cheburashka]

Nice review. Just bought and prefer the Islay, but this one is nice too. Did you get the shoe trees directly from C&J?

[@cooch555]

Also a great pair! No, I get my cedar shoe trees off a generic supplier.

[@roskes]

Thanks for the video. Always liked this better than the Islay.

[@cooch555]

I agree :)

[@mrchrisroden]

I love the fact Live and Let Die is playing in the background. Are you a Bond fan??

[@cooch555]

Haha, well ‘spotted’. Yes I am :)

[@daltontrum83]

Have the same boots. Love them. What kind/color polish do you use on them?

[@cooch555]

I use Saphire shoe cream. Usually a mix of the Hermes red and dark brown. Occasionally a fine layer of dark brown Saphir polish.

[@fortyeightfiend]

I use Saphir Mahogany. It works really well.

[@woodward_alan]

How's the rub on the ankle for the boot? Would you lace snug or loose?

[@cooch555]

Depending on how they fit your feet, they might rub a little as they are relatively roomy. Personally, I can walk in them all day and be fine but I have worn them on a city trip over a long weekend and by the last day they hurt my heel due to the minor rub, as they are quite a heavy boot. This of course will also come down to individual sizing.

[@woodward_alan]

​@@cooch555 thanks for your reply

[@heeroy7]

The Skye III can still be purchased directly from Crockett & Jones but it's a special order item only.

[@cooch555]

You are right! :)

[@hedgefundguy]

If you ever want to sell these on and get the Islays, let me know!

[@cooch555]

I will do, James thank you!

[@LKN4WAR]

Is this the 365 last?

[@brijones]

discontinued

[@mikewingert-savagelyerudite]

The leather is very poor. The best officers field boots (that’s the correct name) are made by Edward Green.
