Soccer boots: Differance in quality between full grain leather and kangaroo leather?

I'm Looking to buy some adidas +F50's w/full grain leather(No kangaroo), however i usually buy kangaroo, but alot of my friends have the +F50, So idk if I should go with the +F50 TUNIT or another shoe w/ kangaroo leather. And will the full grain conform to your foot as well as the kangaroo leather?

Kangaroo leather is softer, forms to the foot better, and provides a better touch. However a quality full grain leather boot can be just about as good and has a tendency to last longer than kangaroo leather, kangaroo leather can also have a tendency to stretch too much in the long run and not form to the foot as well.





With either leather, I feel it is real important to use leather food, once every 10-15days or so to keep the leather soft but strong. here is a url to find some good leather food for cheap

(they are out of the leather food for black leather, but if you look around you can find it)
Reply:Kangaroo leather can be full grain leather like any other type of leather. Full grain means it is the top 'split' of the leather when it has been tanned and that nothing has been removed from the surface thus making it 'full' grain. So this can apply to leather from whatever animal it comes from.
Reply:full grain leather doesn't conform to your foot as well as the kangaroo leather. it tends to maintain it's shape better because it doesn't stretch as much and it isn't as soft as kangaroo leather. you should still condition it though, if you get the leather f50's so the leather won't get hard and slick. i have the f50's, but they're synthetic. i like the lace cover alot (striking a ball feels amazing) and the boots are comfortable. hope this helps.
Reply:kangaroo is yummy
