The logo also indicates the town of Northampton, which is the the manufacturing home of Church's. The Church's logo and the words 'Made in England' are heat-embossed on the leather sole. The Diplomat is one of the most popular Church's shoe models. The half brogue was first designed and produced by shoemaker John Lobb (a brand worn by Bond in Casino Royale) as an Oxford in 1937 in an effort to offer his customers a shoe more stylish than a plain oxford, yet not as bold as a full brogue. Semi-brogues (also known as half brogues) are characterised by a toe cap with decorative perforations and serration along the cap's edge and includes additional decorative perforations in the center of the toe cap. The shoes can be seen when Bond kicks in the floor of the train to make a hole where he and Natalya Simonova can escape. He wears these black semi-brogues during the T-55 tank chase and following train scenes, together with a blue bird's eye pattern suit (Brioni model Augusto). In the movie GoldenEye (1995) James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) wears a pair of black Church's Diplomat shoes.
