As far as thickness and materials, there do seem to be variations between Brooks models. (And obviously, since it uses organic material, between various runs of the same model...)
For my position and shape, I find the B17's to be a bit wrong. They are a little too wide (though I can deal with shorter errands on them.) I've migrated to the Swift as my "go to" shape (and - darn it! - also love the Swallow, but only because I got lucky once finding one cheaply from a list member...) Anyway, my original point is that the Swifts I've gotten are uniformally thicker than the B17's I've bought or ended up with. I'm just breaking in a new one now, and even though the shape is perfect, the give is still quite minimal after ~400 miles or so. hope that helps, - Jim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
