I'm pretty sure this has been discussed quite a bit already. The search function returns a ton of information.

brooks saddles are about as classy as wearing cowboy boots with a business suit.

I'll bite.. and throw some controversy to the Brooks debate. Brooks is the most hi-tech saddles sold today.

What other saddle is made to conform to the shape of your butt? I can't figure out why some saddle manufacturer can't/doesn't produce a saddle with modern materials that function like a Brooks.

Why not some heat mold-able foam? Or a custom saddle?.

I used to speed skate and skate boots are all custom and head mold-able. Why not the same thing with a saddle? It's the same principle as a Brooks

just to answer your ?
It's all about comfort on a Brooks. I have yet to try a saddle as comfy as a Brooks Pro. Unfortunately a Brooks doesn't agree with all bums and it's a process of trial/errror (seeing which model fits best), tuffing it out (going through the break-in period), or just quiting all together and getting on the modern bandwagon

i don't like the brooks in riding shorts, cause it's so slippery. but jeans or anything else, it's great.
