KANGAROO
This light-weight leather has a very fine-grained appearance. It is one of the most comfortable leathers of all. Kangaroo fibers interlock whereas bovine leathers come in horizontal layers. Kangaroo has greater strength, weight for weight. You can often detect this leather by the presence of healed tick bites on the surface. Kangaroo is somewhat “springy” or elastic in the way it fits to the movements of the foot and adjusts to the greater and lesser pressures of normal wear. Kangaroo seems to hug the foot. Even though kangaroo is not recommended for work, some customers demand the comfort of kangaroo in their work boots. Kangaroo resists the effects of repeated wetting and drying better than most leathers, but it is damaged by barnyard acids like other dress-type leathers. Kangaroo is the best leather for those with foot problems.
