Don't use vaseline on them - stops the leather from breathing.
Get some saddle soap, that shit is the best
What is saddle soap and where can i get it? is it just regular soap i can get from the store, or special leather food.
Dubbin does the trick for me. If the leather isn't that great though it might not soften up much.
Yea I would have to agree with metropolis2k about using Dubbin..
..but I havent heard of saddle soap before

This stuff is the best. Its called chelsea leather food and you can get it in clear or black. Softens the leather very nicely.

Any idea one where to get that stuff?
I live in Canada..
you can get it on soccer.com
yeah like AMO said i use that
why do ya wna soften the leather for anyway just wondering
So you get a better touch on the ball. And also it is less likely to rip and will last longer if you condition it regularly.
I have a thing of the clear chelsea leather food pictured above and have regularly applied it to my boots after every other use. after breaking the boots in I started applying the leather food and found that my boots are actually softer than out of the package (Puma cellerator GCi's). The kind of leather I have on my boots is treated calf skin like on the F50's so the effectiveness this stuff has on K is not my expertise however i would belive that it would provide the same nourishment thus provoking similar effect onto the leather. Overall a great product if used consistantly after you have cleaned your boots, just follow that dirctions on the back of the jar and you should be fine.
