Hello,

Can someone school me on boot leather. I am looking for a pair of MEINDL boots that are made with "split leather" and i have heard recently that this is not the best leather to use on boots.
Which i find contradicting as MEINDL makes some of the highest quality boots out there.
"Full grain nubuck" leather is also another advertised boot leather that i'm curious about

if someone knows ups/downs to both that would be great.

Thanks so much
I have heard that the split leather gives boots a suede-like finish, allowing them to absorb a lot of water. Once this water starts to dry out, the boots turns very hard, and shirinks as well

anyone know if that is true?
