Pros: It is a LOT of glove for the money! The glove is catchable right away and completely broken in with 2-3 oil treatments. Inside leather is butter soft!

CoachT

Pros: Glove is really nice. I bought the 12.5" and think it is a little to small for me. I coach LL Girls. This Glove comes already broken in. Very soft leather and palm is like butter. Nice Quality glove for the money and for me which I don't use it every day. I use it to catch with my daughter 3-4 times a week who is on our team. Feels great. May have to trade it in for a .13 pocket though. Softball seems a little big for the .13 inch pocket.

Cons: NONE AT ALL

Pros: I just bought this glove for fall softball season, absolutely the best feeling glove on the hand inside and out. Like CoachT said though, the 12.5 inch is just a bit to small for the mens softball. If it was women's softball or hardball, this glove would be hands down the best. Unfortunately had to take it back, I am now waiting on UPS for my GFN1300s1 with the 13 inch pocket

Cons: Other than too small for mens softball, none

Will the be easy to break-in? Blkhat42
This glove will be fairly soft to start with. It shouldn't take longer than 1-2 weeks to break it in fully. If you work with it for an hour or so a day for a full week it should be good to go.
