My experience with brooks is that they are either comfortable from the start and get more comfortable as you go or they don't work

For me

B-17 on uprightish bike comfortable from the start after 8 or 9 years just showing some softening

B-17 narrow imperial (with the cut out) on road bike with not too much drop did not work at all (too narrow)

Swift on road bike, with not too much drop, comfortable from the start....just barely showing chnages after 3000 miles

your saddle mayt vary (ysmv)
