I pulled the trigger on a $75 pair of discontinued Northwaves, which everyone says run really wide, so I can't wait to see how they compare. Then I have room to play with Superfeet (which I wear in all of my running shoes) and/or forefoot wedges under the insoles. Maybe I can even wear heavier socks during the cold months!
I was thinking about the saddle nose thing today, too. I really think moving it a hair to the left may be worth trying. I'm guessing it would only take a few mms to notice a difference.
Not sure if a narrower saddle would be the key. I definitely don't need wider, but I think narrower would have me hanging off the edges. My saddle is a 143...next size down is 130. My sit bones are in the 120-130mm neighborhood. I actually have a new 147mm Fizik on order, since the cut-out on my saddle has been bugging me (I'm less upright on my newer bike and seem to be hitting the front of the cutout where it narrows...and getting pinched where I don't want to get pinched). New saddle will have a channel down the entire length.
