The humerus is the bone that runs between the shoulder and the elbow, so there is no way that, it would cause a saddle related issue. One thing I noted after breaking mine, there is nothing humorous about a broken humerus, mine took a couple of Titanium plates and about 300 screws to hold it together while it healed, so I know.

Feet going to sleep, probably too tight shoes, there are a few things that work against us here....

1) Most bike shoes are Euro-sized, and conversion charts range from pretty close to completely out to lunch.
2) Your shoe size can change over time, you need to have your size checked once in a while, in a shoe store.
3) Shoe sizes are like bicycle sizes, every manufacturer uses a different length ruler.
