Molton

The Molton represents a contemporary interpretation of the classic chukka boot style, combining traditional Goodyear welted construction methods with a rugged aesthetic suited for both casual wear and challenging conditions. Following its appearance in No Time To Die, the Molton became one of Crockett & Jones's best-selling chukka boots.[2]

The Molton employs three-piece construction, with an Inside Quarter, Outside Quarter, and Vamp forming the upper.[1] The boot features Goodyear welted construction, providing durability and the ability to resole the footwear.[1] Each pair weighs approximately 2.5 kg and is available in a standard E fitting across sizes six through 12, including half sizes.[1]

The Dainite rubber sole features a studded pattern manufactured in the United Kingdom.[1] The rough-out suede upper develops a rugged patina during wear, with the material described as having a dense, waxed surface.[2] The design includes a notched storm-welt, enhancing weather resistance.[1]

Last 336 provides the foundation for the Molton's fit characteristics.[1] This last features a broad square toe shape with increased toe depth and a wider forepart, offering generous fitting across the ball of the foot.[1] The low-cut leg sits above the ankle while maintaining the classic chukka boot proportions.[1]

User experience reports indicate that Last 336 accommodates a comfortable fit with quick break-in periods.[3] The last positions the foot close to the front of the shoe, contributing to the boot's overall profile.[3]

The Molton uses dark brown rough-out suede for the upper, a material more durable than traditional suede.[3] The rough-out construction places the flesh side of the leather outward, creating texture that roughens naturally during wear.[1] All rough-out suede boots shipped online receive pre-treatment before delivery.[1]

Crockett & Jones recommends annual application of dubbin to maintain water resistance and restore color.[1] The rough-out suede accepts dubbin treatment more readily than traditional suede, making the boots suitable for inclement weather conditions.[3] Use of shoe trees helps maintain shape and reduce creasing.[3]

The Molton appeared in No Time To Die (2020), the 25th James Bond film, worn by Daniel Craig during scenes set in Norway.[2] This marked the second Crockett & Jones model featured in the film, following the black Highbury derby.[2] Bond's wardrobe for these scenes paired the Molton boots with a Massimo Alba Duster Coat and white Henley shirt.[2]

Crockett & Jones maintains an official partnership with EON Productions for the James Bond film series, having supplied footwear for Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015), and No Time To Die.[2] The Molton appears in multiple Crockett & Jones collections, including The Icons, the James Bond No Time To Die collection, and the Rough-Out Suede Collection.[1]

As of 2025, the Molton retails for $760.00 USD through Crockett & Jones' United States distribution channels.[1] Historical pricing from 2020 indicated £395 or $595 through various retailers.[2] The boot is produced at the Crockett & Jones factory in Northampton, England, where Goodyear welted footwear undergoes over 200 operations during an eight-week manufacturing process.[1]
