Jack Burton’s Boots (Moccasins) 

jackburtonboot01

If you’re interested in a pair of calf-skin moccasins like the ones Jack sports in the film, Internet sources seem to suggest they were custom-made for Kurt Russell by a company called “Bald Mountain Moccasins”, which has split into a company called Catskill Mountain Moccasins.

Supposedly they’re not cheap… may be around $1000 US…
