Hey all,

Some of you may know of Jack Antonoff, the musician. I've been a fan of his for a long time, he's absolutely awesome. Anyone who follows him knows he has these awesome boots he always wears, and I'd like to find out where I could get a pair. I looked all over the web, but was not able to find ones that are close enough to Jack's.

Here are some pics of his-

As you can see, they're pretty high, are lace-ups, black leather (but they seem so soft, almost like rubber. I'd like ones like this, but all i've been able to find are ones that look really hard, dress-shoe like), and have a very low heel.

Any suggestions for brands/models?

Thanks all

Those look like standard leather combat boots. You could probably find them at an Army-Navy store or a fashion store.

Try Converse's website. I know you can make your own shoes there but they might also have the ones you're looking for.
