I finally found a new saddle that feels great, but my left heel now hurts. Could this be related to an altered saddle position? I don't think it is PF. Thoughts?

It may be your saddle...despite what your butt feels. It could be pinching off a nerve or artery, neither of which is a good thing.

Did the saddle change result in a change in the height of the saddle?  Maybe your new one is slightly thicker or thinner.  Very small differences can have a big effect.  I once lowered my wife's saddle by 3mm and it instantly eliminated some achilles irritation she was getting.

I cannot get comfortable without the nose of the saddle being tilted down. I have tried many different seats and had two professional fittings, but still have excessive numbness and discomfort.

Finding the right bicycle saddle is often a confusing process of trial and error for cyclists. However, a little education goes a long way, and will perhaps save you some pain and discomfort as well.

The ISM Adamo Racing Saddle is difficult to define. It doesn’t look like a bicycle saddle. It doesn’t mount like a bicycle saddle. And yet, it does feel like a bicycle saddle.

I’m only slightly thick in the head, but there is a gremlin-ish energy in the air as I prepare for my run. It occurs to me that this is not gonna be a comfortable 8 miles. This is gonna hurt.
