HTFU , you bought a premium Leather saddle, accept it will take break in time .. and your butt may be used to soft saddles ..

Someone else reviewed them Gilles Berthoud ?Racing? Saddles
I G'd to know its a different model .. Shape more Brooks Pro than B17..

My 30 year old Brooks Pro . one never would consider soft.. just shaped a bit by the the Pelvis' sit bones ..
