I'm pretty sure that was because of its exposure to animal waste products which are acidic and not the typical environment leather is exposed to.
That would tend to suggest that it would also do alright in compost doesn't it?
Or OP it’s because wears out boots because they work hard.
Wearing out boots is not biological degradation.
Who puts animal waste in their compost?
Not the same corossive chemicals, constant wear, and liquid exposure as a compost. Your typical good compost most like won't have those characteristics and likely shouldn't either.
