The only way you'll know if the saddle is correct for you is to ride it. Womens saddles I assume are wider to accommodate more shapely sit bones, probably a better option?
I do not ride a brooks. partially because people say the saddle takes some time to break in. others say you have to condition it with proof-hide and tension it with the bolt just right or you can ruin it. I dont have that kind of patience just to find out I dont like it after making excuses for it for the first 500 miles.
Many people love brooks saddles, maybe they love the street-cred that comes with it. I personally think they are ugly.
I tried 7 different saddles until I found the fizik antares. thats my huckleberry.
