Both sides can be argued... I like kangaroo leather though. It stretches to fit your feet and if taken care of, will last a very long time. Synthetic is easier to clean, and doesn't stretch (some people like a very snug fit).

Cmon!! synthetic SUCKS, it gives you blisters and you get bad touches on the ball! Kangaroo leather gives you excellent touch and stretches. Nike only makes synthetic because it is cheap so they can make money.

I have Predators and obviously theyre kangaroo, and i like the way the mold to your feet and are extremely comfortable. However synthetic gives you better touch and fell on thge ball but isnt as comfortable. I think that they should make something like they do for hockey skates that mold the shoes to your feet and synthetic shoes would be the best.

heres my experience....(not necessarily the same as what others feel)

kangaroo leather gives me better feel & softer touch. try controlling a long ball, the ball basically drops in front of me after a tap, whereas with a synthetic boots, the ball is sometimes tapped too far away from me.

people talk about good 1st touch, i think this is it.

when i dribble, i have a better control of the ball with a leather boots than synthetic.

but then, kangaroo leather didnt make me better player, synthetic boots sometimes made me worse

Keep in mind Kangeroo leather does break down over time. In my experience, synthetics work really well for a long time without having to do much to them. Kangeroo is a little harder to take care of because it is a lot softer. However, it stretches much better than synthetics. Synthetics will strecth and mold, but it takes a little work.

Companies spend a lot of money developing these synthetics. And something has to be good about them.

ALWAYS KANGAROO LEATHER

if you complain about boots that aren't snug when it comes to k-leather...you aren't buying your boots small enough
