Saddles

Hi
I currently have a Selle Italia Diva gel flow saddle and I'm finding that the front of it is crushing my bits (sorry if TMI)! It looks a bit bulbous at the nose of the saddle and I'm presuming that's what was causing the problem. I've tried tilting it down a bit.
I used to ride on a Specialised Riva saddle and found it better; however with both of the saddles I seem to have a problem with my right foot becoming numb. I think it's nerve compression so I'm not keen to go back to the Riva either.
Does anyone have any suggestions for which saddle to try next?
Thanks

Like all "contact" things, it's very personal so probably worth trying a few and finding the one that really works.
Road - Wilier Izoard Centaur/Cube Agree C62 Disc
Allround - Cotic Solaris
I would also include the Vs (Versus) saddles from Fizik as recommendations. The relief channel works nice, and IMO is better than the hole (as in Selle Italia), because it stretches all along the saddle and not only in the middle of it.
I'm currently using Antares Vsx, which is a Vs with deeper channel. Places a lot of pressure in the sit bones, but it is better to have the pressure on the hard bones than on the soft skin or bits. After a few rides your bones get used to it.
As it happens, the Antares VSX would not have been a saddle i would have even considered buying when i looked at it, after trying though, i loved it!
Let's hope not...
