Kangaroo leather is considered to be better than Calf leather.
Kangaroo leather molds and stretches to the foot more.
I have heard different versions of which one is more durable.

k leather is mainly softer and molds better, but does infact wear down a bit easier.

so calf is more durable?..so if im a keeper and touch isnt too important then 7406 would be ok for me?

K-leather is also thinner and does stretch more. But if your a keeper then you'll love the 7406. Just a nice smooth surface so you can belt the ball, higly recommend them!

It is lighter than any other leather of similar thickness.
It is stronger than any other leather of similar thickness.
It is more flexible and more durable.
It has natural characteristics not available elsewhere.
It looks and feels great with superb fine grain softness.
It retains its strength during the tanning process.
The raw material is abundant.
It is environmentally sustainable through an Australian Government program.

ive actually never herd that kangaroo leather is thinner than calf skin, and actually my pulses compared to my f50+........the f50+ are a little thinner IMO
but the only reason i would go with K leather is comfort.

A very interesting topic. My wife was asking me why I go for k-leather and I did mention some of things that were previously mentioned about the differences and she did ask if I could honestly tell the difference from just touch alone.
I guess if there were no marks and we had 2 shoes with the same design side by sige, do you think you would be able to tell which pair was calf and which was k-leather?
