For what it's worth-
When I first got a Brooks saddle my sit bones were so sore from it that I could hardly walk for a few days. I just was not used to having my weight so directly on my sit bones- I had been riding a padded hybrid saddle from a loaner bike.
I would have returned it for sure- I was in awful pain and it felt like sitting on a board. But my husband told me the soreness would fade and I might really like the saddle after that. I respect his opinions so I stuck with it. Sure enough, after two more weeks of soreness and riding, the Brooks saddle became incredibly comfortable for me. Now, thousands of miles later, I have them on both my bikes and would never want any other kind of saddle. It's like they are not even there- you know your saddle fits right when you never notice it.
Just my own story.
