I traded for a pair of Kangaroo Jump Boots while I was in Vietnam.
They wore like iron but were light weight and very comfortable 😀

It's a remarkable leather, equal to cordovan in my experience. It's possible those boots are still out there somewhere, I've seen 100 year old 'roo leather still in fine condition. Thank you for your service, too!

Most jockeys saddle’s for the last 100 years are made from Roo leather, seen a few over the years.........

You see some boxing stuff made out of kangaroo leather also.
