Everyone's butt is different. You really can't know if one will work for you until you try.
Breaking in can take a long time. I've put ~800 miles on mine since I got it and I wouldn't say it's even "broken in" yet. It's still quite rigid, but very comfortable. I never had any issues with it from day 1.
They may not be the best choice if you live somewhere rainy. But there are always saddle covers. Or grocery bags. I use this stuff on mine for extra protection.
If you're planning on leaving your bike locked up unattended for long periods of time, do what you can to secure it. I've got a length of chain with a tube on it threaded through my rails to my frame. Ugly as sin but gives me a little peace of mind.
Do you perhaps have big man-sized feet? Say a 10 1/2? If so, I'm moving in!!!
I still have my original Bean Boots from over 15 years ago. I rub Sno-Seal into the leather once a year, next to a warm wood stove. Just enough heat to melt in the Sno-Seal. That's about it for maintenance.

These gloves with Snow Seal. Several years from now when you're still rocking them and all the lifties give you that nod of approval you'll thank me.
Just curious, but why did you go with Otter Wax over something like Sno Seal or Obenauf's?
