Mine were all comfy from the start and way better than any synthetic, foam type ones I tried. Once I got the bar height thing right I've had very few comfort issues. Only when I have used gel shorts has my backside been uncomfortable (it bunches up). Of course rides over 50 miles start to bother me but then that's my current limit anyway, without a break. I don't use any additional Proofhide other than the initial one either unless I think the leather is drying out too much. That hasn't happened yet so...............go Brooks!
